Kamran Aliyev earned a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Heriot-Watt University (United Kingdom) and Baku Higher Oil School (Azerbaijan) between 2013 and 2017. He subsequently pursued the international Master’s program “Advanced Materials and Processes” at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), graduating in 2020. His Master’s thesis focused on “Kinetic Measurements and Modeling of the Partial Oxidation of Methanol to Formaldehyde.” After completing his Master’s studies, Mr. Aliyev worked with the research team at the Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering at FAU, where he contributed to both research and teaching activities. Since 2022, Mr. Aliyev was employed as a Project and Process Engineer at Wintershall Dea GmbH. His work spans roles in the Oil and Gas sector as well as the Carbon Management & Hydrogen business, focusing on CO₂ storage and utilization, hydrogen production, and the development of innovative process solutions.

In his research, Mr. Aliyev focuses on developing autonomous systems for optimizing milliplate reactors as part of process intensification. The emphasis is on integrating milliplate reactors, real-time analytics, and advanced optimization algorithms to enable sustainable, energy-efficient, and resource-conserving chemical processes. By utilizing Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization (TSEMO) and Model-Based Design of Experiments (MBDoE), a self-optimizing flow reactor is being designed to ensure precise reaction control and reduce experimental requirements. His work involves practical experiments with plate reactors, simulations, and the validation of methodologies using complex reaction systems.
