Role

Arul Murugan is a Higher Research Scientist in the Gas Metrology group specialising in the analysis of hydrogen and energy gases. In particular, he is working towards advancing gas analysis techniques and hydrogen refuelling station sampling methods which will support the developing hydrogen economy.

Biography

Arul obtained his MEng in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College, London, in 2008 and his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Newcastle University in 2011. His research during this time was on the topic of novel methods for hydrogen production by chemical looping water splitting which he has presented at several international conferences.

Arul is an associate member of the Institute of Chemical Engineers and City & Guilds of London Institute.
