Application, Purification, and Recovery of Ionic Liquids

Dr. Olga Kuzmina is a postdoctoral research associate at Imperial College London. She obtained a PhD in Chemistry at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena, Germany, and has a few years of industrial experience working for leading chemical companies worldwide. Dr. Jason P. Hallett received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He joined Imperial College London, first with a Marshall-Sherfield Postdoctoral Fellowship in Sustainable Chemistry and in 2014 was appointed a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering. He has authored over 60 articles and holds 4 patents. His current research interests involve the solvation behaviour of ionic liquids and the use of ionic liquids in the production of lignocellulosic biofuels and sustainable chemical feedstocks. This research is supported by both the EPSRC and industry.
