Dhabia M Al Mohannadi - العربية

Dhabia's work in process systems engineering focuses on developing and optimizing 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 is creating frameworks that allow for more efficient use of hydrocarbons while facilitating the transition to alternative energy sources, like hydrogen. Her methods led directly to novel processes that convert wastes to value added products such as the “HyPEC” process that was funded by Qatar National Research Fund and Qatar Shell and received 2 invention disclosure. The method takes wastewater and converts it to hydrogen. Her role was in modeling the streams and guiding the experimental group. Her modeling techniques are specifically tailored to address the GCC's unique challenges by enabling the region to diversify its energy portfolio without compromising its core strengths in the energy sector. It tracks material and energy flows of inputs and waste and can work on different scales from supply chains to process development.
