Bio

Prof. Amadeu Sum is Associate Professor in the Chemical & Biological Engineering Department at the Colorado School of Mines and leads the Hydrates Energy Innovation Laboratory. He was formerly the co-Director for the Center for Hydrate Research at the Colorado School of Mines. He holds BS degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and MS in Chemical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines, and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Delaware. He did postdoctoral work at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Before joining the Colorado School of Mines in 2008, he spent four years at Virginia Tech as an Assistant Professor. He is a DuPont Young Professor recipient. He has been working with hydrate research for over 25 years covering experimental, theoretical, and simulation topics of hydrates in flow assurance and science (e.g., phase equilibria, kinetics, flowloop, formation /accumulation/deposition, inhibition, interfacial phenomena, spectroscopy, molecular simulations). He is author/co-author of over 130 peer-reviewed publications and a recent book on hydrates in flow assurance. He has given a number of short courses on hydrates to academia and industry. He has worked closely with industry, hydrate JIPs and DeepStar.
