Amir Al Ghatta

Dr. Amir Al Ghatta is an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, specializing in sustainable chemistry and ionic liquid applications.

His research focuses on developing green chemical processes using ionic liquids for biomass fractionation and valorization. Key areas include sustainable production of bio-based chemicals, furanic compound synthesis, and techno-economic assessment of novel processes. His work bridges fundamental chemistry with practical industrial applications in renewable materials and waste valorization.

Publications demonstrate innovations in converting biomass feedstocks into valuable chemicals while minimizing environmental impact. Research themes consistently emphasize process efficiency, economic viability, and replacement of petrochemical-based processes with sustainable alternatives.
