Leading DESA, an integrated electrochemical platform for chlor-alkali, PEM hydrogen and digital engineering. Seeking research, industrial and technology partners for collaborative R&D, pilot projects and industrial deployment.
Blouberg Municipality Sustainable Agriculture (BMSA) NPC is a South African non-profit organisation advancing sustainable development through the integration of water, energy, food and industrial systems. The organisation develops research, innovation and demonstration programmes that strengthen resource resilience, support local economic development and contribute to industrial decarbonisation. Activities include sustainable agriculture, water stewardship, clean energy, advanced manufacturing and technology-enabled infrastructure. BMSA is the institutional home of the Dynamic Electrochemical Systems Architecture (DESA), an integrated research and innovation programme for electrochemical manufacturing. DESA combines chlor-alkali membrane electrolysis, PEM hydrogen electrolysis, digital twins, system identification and process optimisation to support scalable production of sustainable chemicals and green hydrogen for industrial applications. BMSA collaborates with universities, research institutes, technology providers, industry and public-sector partners to advance applied research, pilot demonstration projects, technology transfer and international cooperation across the BRICS innovation ecosystem.
I lead the development of DESA (Dynamic Electrochemical Systems Architecture), an integrated electrochemical systems programme for industrial decarbonisation. My work focuses on chlor-alkali membrane electrolysis, PEM hydrogen electrolysis, digital twins, system identification and process optimisation for sustainable industrial manufacturing.
Current activities include electrochemical system architecture, multiphysics modelling, process integration and digital engineering for brownfield and greenfield industrial applications.
I am interested in collaborative research, technology validation, industrial pilot projects and international partnerships across advanced manufacturing, hydrogen technologies and industrial digitalisation.
