Dr. Emilia Nowak
Emilia Nowak graduated from ZUT, Szczecin in 2008 in Chemical and Process Engineering (the best student in graduating class) as well as completed 2.5 years in Automatic Control and Robotics (ZUT, Electrical Engineering). She received PhD (2013) in Chemical Engineering from the University of Birmingham (UK), where she was researching gas-liquid-solid interactions with industrial partner Johnson & Matthey, UK.
In the postdoctoral projects, Dr Nowak has been involved in the NANOHEX collaborative EU project (EU FP7 fund) where she was investigating heat transfer in nano-fluids with EU academic and industrial partners aiming at developing more efficient coolants. Subsequently, she was a member of MEMPHIS project (EPSRC fund), where she studied small-scale multiphase flows with UCL partners to feed information for the next generation of modelling tools that can handle fast & small-scale phenomena in multiphase systems developed by the team at Imperial College London (ICL).
Dr Nowak has been appointed to an academic position at Massey University in New Zealand in 2016 to teach principles of transport phenomena in food processing. She secured funds to carry out fundamental research (Royal Society NZ and Callaghan Innovation) as well as run applied projects with ~ 20 industry partners.
Since industrial-scale process design needs to resolve several fundamental open problems in multiphase systems, Dr Nowak aims at capturing dynamics at the small time – and length-scale phenomena (coalescence, breakage, wetting) at the interfaces. A fundamental understanding of the dynamics of interfacial phenomena with relevant physics and chemistry enables predictive modelling of the multiphase processes that are determined by small-scale phenomena. These are crucially important in FMCG, fine chemicals, catalysis, oil, and food sectors that rely on “cook & look”, “cookie-cutter” approach and semi-empiricism that may result in unsafe operation, product failure, redundant processing aids use and unaccounted for long-term consequences.
