The University of Queensland, SMI
I am a mineral processing engineer with more than 15 years of industrial and academic experience. Planning and implementing multi-disciplinary projects in comminution, flotation and thickening for numbers of the funded industrial project provided me with a strong desire to conduct applied research underpinned by sound fundamental understanding.
Having the opportunity of being in a high calibre research team in the JKMRC, a world-leading research centre in mineral processing, and actively collaborating with the international community of researchers has broadened my vision on issues associated with the minerals industry.
Advance Process Prediction and Control (APPCo), the program which I am leading, aims to transform unit process modelling and simulation, moving on from the steady-state models previously developed at the JKMRC, to develop and apply new techniques that make greater use of data generated on-site and sensor technologies in combination with advanced process control, computational analytics and modelling techniques.
Research within the APPCo program will focus on four foundation themes:
- Integrated process prediction
- Dynamic process modelling
- Advanced data analytics
- Instrumentation and soft sensors
