Expertise
Adrian is a PhD Student at The University of Edinburgh and the founder of Moxie Energy Group (MXG) in Northumberland, UK. His research focuses on novel experimental techniques to explore heat and mass transfer, phase change, and interfacial phenomena. At MXG, Adrian's role involves building collaborations with industrial partners, government organisations, and academia. Having graduated in 2020 with a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Adrian further pursued his interest in experimental research and novel energy systems. Adrian's first peer-reviewed journal article, being published in Heat Transfer Engineering journal, was inspired by his final year project where he developed a prototype micro heat engine driven by the Leidenfrost Effect. Adrian leads various energy research projects in partnership with the universities in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, and Durham University. Alongside his academic partnerships, Adrian works with the Northumberland County Council and Northern Powergrid to build energy reliance using microgrids, peer-to-peer trading platforms, and vehicle to everything (V2X) technology.
