- First reported investigation of algal biomass emulsion combustion in a modern engine, a novel approach to utilisation of algal biomass as a biofuel without need for complete dewatering. Interdisciplinary collaboration involving Mechanical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, and Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology, supported by EPSRC Research Fellowship (EP/M007960/1) and EU FP7 SUNBIOPATH project (KBBE-2009-3-02). Led to a follow-on interdisciplinary PhD project, invited public demonstration at 2016 Shell Eco Marathon, and a school outreach programme in collaboration with Cranford Community College and London Museum of Steam and Water, and awarded the Spark! Partnership Alan Bosson trophy http://sparklondon.org/about/media-and-events/partnershipawards2017/spark-partnership-awards-2015-the-results/.
