Research Bio
Hussain is a 5th year grad electrobuff from our own CU Boulder's Chemistry department. Hussain’s research focuses on modeling and assessment of integrated CO2 capture and electrochemical utilization. He uses process modeling tools (e.g., Aspen Plus) as well as techno-economic modeling to understand the future feasibility of emerging Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and electrolysis technologies. Hussain is co-advised by Dr. Bri-Mathias Hodge.
Hussain grew up in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, in a small town called Al Qatif. He likes to play volleyball and football (a.k.a soccer), and he loves to go hiking to some of the breathtaking mountains in Colorado!
