“Professional with an insatiable interest in chemical process design, process system engineering, and development of task-oriented modelling for process systems.”
About me ...
Dr. Leynard Natividad is a researcher and lecturer in the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University (JCU-Australia) and casual online lecture in Peruvian universities.
He has collaborated in Murdoch University Research Projects funded by Water Corporation in Western Australia in waste reuse and nutrient recovery topics.
Leynard got a PhD in Chemical Engineering and a master’s degree in Food Science and Technology. During his PhD, he developed a mathematical model to select suitable operating conditions for nutrient recovery using source separated urine. He applied simulations to understand diverse process configurations and achieve maximum efficiency.
Leynard has also studied food freeze-drying during his undergraduate and master’s degree. He was university lecturer in Peru in the subjects of “Food drying”, “Thermodynamics” and “Food Process Engineering”.
His current activities involve the writing of scientific papers in nutrient recovery process modelling, sludge dehydration, and wastewater treatment simulation. Additionally, he supervises thesis students and lectures the subjects of “wastewater treatment process”, “chemical process simulation”, and “chemistry”.
