Dhabia M Al Mohannadi - العربية

Dhabia contributed on working in process systems engineering focuses on developing and improving circular processes that integrate advanced technologies, such as hydrogen production and smart technology systems, to reduce emissions and enhance resource management. By leveraging optimization techniques, she contributed in creating frameworks that enable more efficient use of hydrocarbons while facilitating the transition to alternative energy sources, such as hydrogen. Her contribution has led to new processes that convert waste into value-added products, such as the “HyPEC” process, which was funded by the Qatar National Research Fund and Qatar Shell and received two patents. The method takes wastewater and converts it into hydrogen. Specifically, she worked on the mathematical tool that helped develop the process. In addition to other tools that are used in decarbonization and circular design of processes in other works and processes.  The HYPEC team included 4 PIs and 6 graduate students and 3 post docs. Her modeling techniques are specifically designed to address the unique challenges facing the GCC by enabling the region to diversify its energy portfolio without compromising its core strength in the energy sector. It tracks material and energy flows from inputs to waste and can operate at different scales from supply chains to process development.
