Nicholas Musyoka is an Associate Professor in Renewable Energy & Energy Storage at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC). His research interests cut across innovations in Green Chemicals, Renewable Energy, and Energy Storage. Specifically, he has been deeply involved in the development of gas-based technologies and innovations with the anchors being catalysis and sorbent materials in relation to gas production, separation, storage and conversion.  He is currently one of the World’s Top 2% Scientists as per the list published by Stanford University/Elsevier. From his research activities, Dr. Nicholas has authored over 98 peer-reviewed publications and holds three patents for innovative materials synthesis processes. Additionally, he has presented talks at important high-level international events such as the G20 International Energy Transition Working Group Meetings, Commonwealth Science Conferences, United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) Day, Pujiang Innovation Forum, and also serves on the advisory boards as well as a guest editor of several scientific journals. He has also been awarded several recognitions such as; Innowings Bronze medal - Excellent Innovation Award, Emerging Leader award, Future Leaders – African Independent Research (FLAIR) Fellowship, NRF Rating (South Africa), Ningbo High-level Talents Classification Certification, among others.                                                                                                

• Green Hydrogen:Pioneering materials and processes development for efficient  hydrogen storage, sustainable hydrogen production (mainly Turquoise hydrogen), and purification, in order to overcome the critical barriers in the hydrogen economy.
• Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS):Developing high-capacity, selective sorbents for capturing CO2 from industrial flue gases and linking this approach towards Power-to-X solutions (X = methanol, Ammonia, others).
• Sustainable Sorbent Materials Synthesis:Leading the charge in circular economy principles by transforming industrial waste streams, spent/waste lithium ion batteries, coal fly ash, into high-value porous materials, thereby reducing the environmental footprint of their production and end-of-life.

I have been involved in the teaching of the modules below

• CHEE2029: Interfacial Chemistry 
• CHEE2052: Materials and Sustainable Processes (Special topics)

I am also currently involved in the Supervision/Co-supervision of 10 PhD Students. So far, I have successfully graduated 8 PhD and 7 MSc students.
