Biography

Christopher Connolly has a Masters degree in chemical engineering with distinction (including nuclear engineering). His final year university project involved producing a program to design and model a distillation column to meet a user’s specification, for which he received the Scottish Branch Prize from the IChemE. Since 2019, Christopher has worked on the high-profile Sim Plant project for BEIS as part of the Advanced Fuel Cycle Programme. Sim Plant uses process modelling to flowsheet future fuel reprocessing plant options and estimate footprint, sizing and outputs. The project has led to Christopher presenting the work at the EU Horizon 2020 conference.
