Dr. Tom Hughes' research focuses on high accuracy measurements of thermophysical properties at high pressures and a wide range of temperatures, including cryogenic conditions, as well as vapour-liquid and solid-liquid equilibrium measurements related to carbon dioxide capture and sequestration and the use of natural gas hydrates and semi-clathrate hydrates for gas separations. He also explores ways to improve natural gas processing, liquefied natural gas production, and liquefied hydrogen production, storage, and transportation, contributing to the study of environmentally friendly refrigerants and their mixtures. Tom has worked on research funded by Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, Gas Processors Association, Woodside, Chevron Energy Technology Company, Shell Development Australia, and the Australian Research Council. He received a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Chemical) from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2009. His PhD thesis focused on the dissociation of natural gas hydrate pipeline blockages and gas hydrate dissociation enthalpies. His primary research ambition is to assist industry in improving operations and processes by providing measurements and modeling that allow optimal designs and operating conditions to be confidently determined, thereby reducing energy requirements and environmental impacts.
