Dmitriy Kuvshinov

Dr Dmitriy Kuvshinov is a Lecturer in the School of Engineering at the University of Hull, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering and Chemical Engineering department. With over 30 years of experience, he specializes in natural gas conversion, carbon capture/utilization technologies, and nanomaterials synthesis. His research leverages computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and COMSOL software for process design.

He contributes to teaching modules such as 'Chemical Engineering of Nanomaterials' and 'Transport Processes' at both undergraduate and MSc levels. His research interests include carbon nanomaterial applications, biogas upgrading, and Lab-on-a-Chip systems for bioengineering. Notable projects include the THYME initiative to enhance biogas production and HEIF-funded studies on carbon nanofiber markets.

Dr Kuvshinov has supervised multiple PhD students, focusing on topics like hydrogen production from waste textiles and CO2 detection systems. He collaborates with research groups like the Aura Innovation Centre and Biomedical Engineering Research Group. His work bridges engineering and environmental sustainability, addressing challenges in energy systems and waste utilization.

Key awards and fellowships: Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

Grant-funded projects include £29,937 for biogas process improvement (Research England) and £23,340 for carbon nanofiber market analysis (University of Hull). His work emphasizes circular economy principles and industrial-scale applications of emerging technologies.
