Radomir Slavchov

Dr. Radomir Slavchov is a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at Queen Mary University of London's School of Engineering and Materials Science. He is affiliated with the Centre for Sustainable Engineering and holds adjunct roles such as Adjunct Associate Professor at Ohio University. His research focuses on surfactants, electrolytes, capillarity, and quadrupolar solvents, particularly in CO2 transport and fuel chemistry.

Education & Background: Dr. Slavchov has held academic and research roles including a BP-ICAM Fellowship (2017–2019) at Cambridge University and a Lecturer position at Sofia University (2008–2015). His expertise spans formulation science, electrokinetic mechanisms, and combustion engine deposits.

Research Interests: His work addresses adsorption at liquid interfaces, capillary phenomena, and surface electric phenomena. Key areas include corrosion mapping in CO2 transport, surfactant distribution in multiphase systems, and molecular dynamics simulations of lipid-water interfaces.

Grants & Funding: Recent grants include a £265k Innovate UK project (KTP Archipelago) and a £102k Shell-funded initiative on quadrupolar solvents. Past funding includes BP-ICAM projects on battery thermal management and injector deposit mechanisms.

Advising & Students: Current PhD students include Saeid Faraji (CO2 impurity reactions), Jangwon Shon (lipid-water interphases), and Rose Walker (corrosion prevention in CO2 streams). Completed projects focus on droplet dynamics and surface dipole interactions.

Labs & Collaborations: His group collaborates with industry partners like Shell and BP, focusing on carbon capture solutions and fuel chemistry innovations.
