M.Sc. Student
Thesis Subject: Twaha’s thesis focuses on the development of a generalized approach for the prediction of binary interaction parameters for cubic equations of state (C-EoS). The goal is to develop a predictive C-EoS based methodology for highly non-ideal mixtures.
Education and Experience: B. Eng. in Chemical Engineering from Lakehead University (2021). Before joining our group, Twaha held an internship position at Resolute Forest Products (Thunder Bay) working as an energy efficiency technician in the field of pulp and paper processing.
