Profile
Background
Mulako previously studied a multidisciplinary MSc in Energy Systems and Thermal Processes at Cranfield University (2019-2020) where he graduated with a distinction. His MSc thesis was on thermo-electrochemical model development and simulation of a novel green power-to-ammonia to power system: reversible solid oxide cell for power and hydrogen production coupled with an ammonia synthesis unit. The novel system has the lowest reported ammonia energy consumption of 6.41 - 8.21 kWh/kg-NH3.
Mulako previously gained experience in power generation for 2.5 years at Wartsila as a Power Plant Operations Engineer from 2017-2019. He studied Bachelor of Engineering focused in Mechanical Engineering at University of Zambia from 2011 to 2016 and graduated on top of his class with a first class honours.
