Martin Trusler

Professor Martin Trusler is a Professor of Thermophysics in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, within the Faculty of Engineering. His affiliations include the Clean Fossil and Bioenergy Group, Energy Futures Lab, Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering, and Thermophysics Laboratory. He holds a BSc (1st class honours) and PhD in Physical Chemistry from University College London (1977–1984). His career spans over three decades at Imperial College, progressing from Lecturer (1988) to Senior Lecturer (1995) before his current professorial role since 2001.

Research interests focus on thermophysical properties of fluids, particularly in carbon capture, hydrogen storage, and energy systems. Key areas include phase behavior of CO2 and hydrogen mixtures, interfacial properties of reservoir minerals, and fluid dynamics under extreme conditions. His work integrates experimental measurements with computational modeling to improve understanding of energy and environmental processes.

Publications emphasize experimental methodologies and theoretical frameworks for fluid behavior, with recent emphasis on CO2 mineralization, hydrogen infrastructure, and subsurface storage solutions. His contributions address challenges in climate mitigation technologies and energy transition systems.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Thermophysics Laboratory and collaborates with interdisciplinary groups at Energy Futures Lab and the Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering. His research supports industrial partnerships in clean energy innovation.
