研究领域

Compressive and shear rheology Electrokinetics Flocculation (Aggregate structure) Hydrometallurgy and nanoparticle synthesis and dispersion Particulate flow and particulate (colloidal) interfacial phenomena (Rheology) Separations using thickening, filtration and centrifugation Water and waste water processing (Membrane fouling) Water quality and recycle

His research interests are in the area of slurry flow, molecular adsorption, particle dispersion and manufacture, particle flocculation and separations technologies. The application space of his work is to separations and processing in the mining, water, waste water and pharmaceuticals industries where both water recycle and transport of wastes are major issues. In addition to his research interests, he is on the editorial board of four journals, is a Fellow of IChemE and Engineers Australia and has won prizes for both his teaching and research.
