CAPE Special Interest Group Sessions

Dr Oluleye is a Lecturer at the Grantham Institute Imperial College London, specialising in developing data-driven computational models to evaluate how market-based mechanisms can trigger economic tipping points for industrial decarbonisation solutions, with a focus on heavy sectors. 

Her expertise lies at the intersection of engineering, policy, economics, and finance. Gbemi also leads the Executing Sustainability Strategies Executive Education Programme and serves as Programme Director for the CPD on Green Leaders for a Sustainable Future

Dr Gopinath holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London and was a postdoctoral researcher in Applied Mathematics & Plasma Physics at Los Alamos National Laboratory. 

Her interests are mathematical formulations for superstructure optimization; algorithms for molecular design; and global optimization techniques. The applications of her work include electrification via tailored heat pumps, design of solvents for carbon capture, and globally optimal power transmission networks.

Dr Usai is a Lead Developer and Solution Owner at Siemens, specializing in bioprocess modeling for the pharmaceutical industry. 

His expertise lies in mechanistic and hybrid modeling techniques applied to both upstream and downstream bioprocessing, with a particular focus on bioreactors, lyophilization, and freezing/thawing processes. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science from the University of Manchester, where he concentrated on microalgal cultivation systems
