Biography Dr Font Palma is Senior Lecturer and joined the School of Engineering in January 2021 as lecturer. She was Programme Director of Chemical Engineering during 2022/23. She works on process simulation, process integration of energy systems, low-carbon energy and hydrogen, and cryogenic carbon capture.

She has a PhD in biomass gasification from the University of Manchester. She has been part of various consortia involving research on oxy-combustion, cryogenic carbon capture, gas turbines and exhaust gas recirculation, and methanol synthesis. She led the CO2-FROST project funded by the UKCCSRC Flexible funding 2020.

Carolina was awarded the prestigious RAEng/The Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship 2020/2021. She recently took a secondment in Uniper Hydrogen UK Ltd, funded by IDRIC. She has numerous publications on energy and carbon capture, and is a member of the UKRI Talent Peer Review College.
