Nghia is an engineer with expertise in developing signal processing algorithms applied to radio-frequency data, especially ultrasound signals. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2012. From 2012 to 2014, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he developed image reconstruction methods for medical ultrasound tomography. He was a Senior Research Associate in the Medical Imaging group at the University of Cambridge afterwards, where he developed beamforming methods to enhance ultrasound image quality. Prior to joining UBIETY, Nghia had worked for three years in industry on the area of aerospace navigation, where he applied his beamforming techniques to anti-jamming devices and anti-spoofing technologies. Nghia has published many papers in journals and conferences on imaging science and medical imaging. In free time, he is keen on playing sports, spending time with his family and giving scientific talks to primary school children.

The Third General Assembly of ENCASE took place at University Technology Compiègne (UTC), France, on November 21st/22nd, 2024. ENCASE is an EU funded project that brings together Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage researchers, operators, manufacturers, academia, and SMEs to increase competitiveness in the industry. Dr Wes Maru participated in the GA representing our effort in three areas of deliverables for Liquid and Supercritical CO2 metrology – namely: a) The Development and Commissioning of Novel Compact Prover as a Primary Standard, b) Flow Simulation Development for UBIETY Meter and c) Development and Testing of High Resolution Ultrasonic Flow Meter  ENCASE is organised in 7-work packages where the interaction and knowledge transfer between, and the key deliverables from each work packages is expected to dramatically alter our understanding and utilisation of such technologies as the primary engineering solutions in the global effort to reduce emitted carbon dioxide.

Guido is a physicist with a broad experience in fluid mechanics. He holds a PhD in Applied Geophysics and Hydraulics with focus on Lagrangian particle tracking and Large Eddy Simulation (L ES ) . He has worked in academia, industry and as a consultant, dealing with food and personal care products, HVAC, polymer production, naval architecture and geophysical flows – for firms such as Unilever R&D, Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) and Saipem Energy Services.  Guido has authored several publications in peer reviewed journals and has disseminated his project findings at several leading international conferences. Collaborating closely with our team of specialized engineers and scientists, Guido joins us as we expand our recruitment to match our ambition of creating high performance teams that deliver our objectives. Guido will bring his significant experience in fluid mechanics and multi-phase CFD simulation as well as digital twins. In his free time, Guido likes to spend quality time with his family and friends.

Dr Wes Maru has just returned from The 3rd General Assembly meeting of the ENCASE project which took place last week at the Politecnico di Milano Piacenza Campus , and at the LEAP s.c.a r.l. Tecnopolo Piacenza .

Ravi has just completed an MSc in Analogue and Digital Integrated Circuit Design from Imperial College, London with Distinction. He was involved in the design and implementation of support vector machine (SVM) as a machine learning model for image classification on an FPGA, which will have relevance for our work in UBIETY. Whilst still in his undergraduate studies, Ravi was involved in a research area where he authored a few journal and conference papers on topics including “A highly reliable radiation tolerant 13T SRAM cell for deep space applications”, Microelectronics Reliability (133) 114527, 2022.

With a career spanning a decade at OGM, an innovative company with an excellent reputation of supplying cutting edge technologies for the energy sector, Andrew brings a wealth of experience and versatility to our dynamic team. His educational background and qualifications include an MEng in Aerospace Engineering from Queen Mary University of London; MSc in Computational Fluid Dynamics and a second MSc in Astronautics and Space Engineering– both from Cranfield University.

Nandini has an impressive background in Electronics and communication, focusing on optical fibre communication as well as employing fibre Bragg grating sensor for high resolution salinity measurements.

The Digital Twin (DT) Hub was launched in 2020 by the Centre for Digital Built Britain as part of the UK Government-mandated National Digital Twin programme (NDTp).

The kick-off meeting for the launch of the four year Horizon Europe ENCASE project was concluded on the 3rd of March 2023 in Oslo, Norway. ENCASE is a collaboration of 20 organisations that aim to advance a European Network of Research Infrastructures (RIs) for CO2 Transport and Injection, where the 7-RIs are from 6-Nations, who will be enabled to address the new challenges by simulating typical industrial processes in the carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) value chain.
