- Profile
-
I completed my BEng in Chemical Engineering at the º£½ÇÉçÇø of Queensland, Australia, in 2000, and my PhD in Chemical Engineering from the º£½ÇÉçÇø of Queensland in 2008. I joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at Monash º£½ÇÉçÇø in Melbourne, Australia as a post-doctoral research fellow in 2008.
In February 2012 I joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the º£½ÇÉçÇø of Sheffield as a lecturer.
I am interested in the study of particulate systems in industries including pharmaceuticals, foods, detergents, biological processing and water, using a combination of experimental and computational simulation tools.
