Biography
Dr. Thomas Moore is a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), within the Faculty of Engineering’s School of Mechanical, Medical & Process Engineering. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Melbourne, as well as a Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) and a Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) from the University of Queensland. Before coming to QUT, Dr. Moore was a Staff Scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he led the modelling team within the Science of Scaleup Strategic Initiative.
Dr. Moore has an extensive publication record, with first-author publications in Nature Chemical Engineering, Joule, Energy & Environmental Science, and ACS Energy Letters, among others. His research focusses on carbon capture process design, CO₂ electrolysis, reactive mass transfer in non-aqueous solvents, and TEA and LCA analysis of emerging green technologies. He has ongoing research projects on electrification of gas separation processes, DAC and CCS process design, and the use of data science techniques to develop predictive physics and thermodynamic models. Dr. Moore teaches into EGB364, EGB365, EGH463 and ENN556, and his classes cover thermodynamics, reactor engineering, transport phenomena, process design, and process evaluation.
