Seniorđ
Top SchoolMichael Short is a Professor of Process Systems Engineering and Associate Head of External Engagement at the University of Surrey, combining academic leadership with entrepreneurial impact as co-founder of BiofuelAi. He specialises in optimisation, process synthesis and real-time decision-support, with deep expertise in mixed-integer nonlinear programming applied to energy efficiency, bioenergy and CCUS. Michael built and continues to contribute to the open-source KIPET kinetic-parameter estimation toolkit developed at Carnegie Mellon, bridging nonlinear programming research with practical tools for chemists and engineers. He leads interdisciplinary research translating optimisation and machine learning into deployable software for anaerobic digestion, distributed energy systems and lifecycle techno-economic analysis. As a lecturer he embeds sustainability and economics into capstone process design, and his work uniquely spans fundamental algorithm development through to commercial AI-driven operational optimisation for biofuel producers.
