معرفی
Sary AWAD is an Associate Professor in the Energy and Environmental Systems department at IMT Atlantique, a leading technological university in France with campuses in Brest, Nantes, and Rennes. Based at the Nantes campus, Dr. AWAD focuses on sustainable energy solutions, particularly in the areas of biofuels, CO2 reduction, and waste valorization.
Dr. AWAD's research spans multiple dimensions of renewable energy systems, with particular emphasis on biofuel production from various biomass sources, thermochemical conversion processes, and engine performance with alternative fuels. The research portfolio demonstrates expertise in both fundamental reaction engineering and applied energy systems, with publications covering biodiesel production, bioethanol from agricultural waste, plastic waste conversion, and thermal energy systems. Recent work shows increasing focus on circular economy approaches, particularly in building material recycling and non-energetic valorization of waste streams.
Analysis of recent publications reveals a strong trend toward integrated systems thinking, combining technical, economic, and environmental assessment in energy research. The work spans from fundamental reaction kinetics in continuous reactors to full-scale techno-enviro-economic analysis of biofuel production facilities. There is particular expertise in process intensification techniques, including chaotic mixing for biodiesel production and advanced heat transfer solutions for energy systems.
Dr. AWAD's research has significant implications for sustainable energy transition, with practical applications in transportation fuels, waste management, and building sustainability. The work bridges fundamental chemical engineering principles with real-world implementation challenges in the energy sector.
