Pleased with the attitude of CERE’s students

Physicist Xiaohong Zhang is a senior technical developer at KBC Advanced Technologies Ltd, UK.  KBC, recently acquired by Japanese Yokogawa Electric Corporation, provides software solutions and technical consultancy to the global oil and gas, petrochemical and gas processing industry.

Xiaohong Zhang has worked for nearly 20 years in chemical engineering, particularly in the development of thermodynamic models for modelling the phase behavior of gas hydrates, waxes and asphaltenes.  She has been following the work of CERE for a number of years, with this Discussion Meeting being the first one she has attended.

“One of the key KBC software products is Petro-SIM, a process simulator powered by the well-established thermal engine, Multiflash”. 

“In order to keep improving our software technology, we are always keen in seeking new ideas and methods. The CERE Discussion Meeting is an ideal and inspiring place to go, and is an excellent forum to follow any new developments in the relevant disciplines,” says Xiaohong Zhang, “It is also a place where we can meet not only the students at CERE but also the people from oil and gas industries”.

“The Master and PhD students at CERE have a good attitude to the research work.  Their curiosity, determination, hard work and excellent input from the DTU staff are the keys to their success in producing high quality results.  The industries surely benefit from the projects carried out by the students at CERE”.

 “The CERE committee did an excellent job, all the topics covered by the conference are very interesting and highly relevant. I am very pleased to attend the meeting, and very much looking forwards to reading all the relevant presentations and posters”.
