Mark Barwood is a lecturer within the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Western Australia. His research focuses on a wide range of experimental and theoretical projects relating to thermodynamics, kinetics, and industrially relevant phase transitions. He employs a holistic approach to measurement theory, which provides novel, high-quality data beneficial for industry, and he establishes theoretical frameworks necessary for interpreting and predicting complex processes. His primary research goals include reducing the cost of safe liquid hydrogen production by measuring solubility, freeze-out kinetics, and impurities of hydrogen at cryogenic temperatures. This work aims to prevent oversizing of adsorption units. Additionally, he develops thermodynamic models for solid-fluid equilibrium and investigates ortho-para hydrogen conversion, particularly focusing on catalyst deactivation due to the formation of solids on catalyst surfaces. Mark also works on reducing non-routine CO2 emissions from LNG plants to prevent unplanned shutdowns caused by solid freeze-out. His expertise aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and he contributes to the field through significant research output and collaboration.
