Shining a light on the valuable work of IChemE volunteers
Zaid, you are the webinar coordinator for IChemE’s Process Management and Control SIG; tell us a little about yourself.
My current role is Engineering Product Owner – Tools & Data, in the BP Innovation & Engineering – Engineering team. My studies took me through BSc Chemical Physics, and a PhD in Chemical Physics, at the University of Sussex, and MSc Process Automation, at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.
I was really interested in science, particularly physics. I took chemical physics further into research to understand how to utilise that knowledge in application, which then led to a job in on-line analyser technologies. But then I got interested in control and automation at work and retrained in that.
