Profile
Dr Adam BOIES
Co-Principal Investigator
Dr Boies is a lecturer in the Department of Engineering, Division A. His research focuses on advancing low-carbon and energy-efficient transportation solutions.
Dr Boies conducts macro-level research examining energy use and emissions within the transportation sector, focusing on the lifecycle analysis of vehicles and fuels. He is interested in applying first and second law thermodynamic approaches to optimise the production of fuels. He also examines how implementation of new vehicle technologies impact city-scale energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Dr Boies' experimental work focuses on the production of novel core-shell nanoparticles for catalytic applications, such as fuel cells and fuel production. He specialises in gas-phase nanoparticle synthesis and measurement techniques of composite particle structures.
Dr Boies was a Co-I for the C4T programme.
