Andrew Fry

Andrew Fry received a BS Degree in 2002 and a PhD Degree in 2006 from the University of Utah. He worked in industry as a combustion process consultant and researcher for Reaction Engineering International from 2006 through 2012.  He then moved back to University of Utah as Director of the Industrial Combustion and Gasification Research Facility until 2016.  In 2016 Andrew moved to Brigham Young University and is currently a Professor of Chemical Engineering. His research is focused on advanced technologies which utilize our various fossil fuel natural resources to produce power in the cleanest and efficient manner possible.  Some of Andrew’s current research programs include: Zero emission coal-fired utility boilers leveraging oxy-coal combustion with maximum temperatures and elevated pressures, advanced instrumentation for combustion and gasification research, biomass / coal co-firing for CO2 mitigation, improved boiler metering and control for efficiency improvements at low load and through load ramping and advanced supercritical CO2 power cycles.
