University of Houston is an R1 research institute in Houston, Texas. I am currently enrolled here as a doctoral student and I am assigned work as a research assisstant and teaching assistant in the chemical and biomolecular engineering department. My goal is to utilise chemical engineering methods and principles to solve the energy and sustainability problems of today through optimizing, innovating and developing the relevant processes involved.
