Research Interests	My research is in fine particle structure modelling, characterisation and measurement; and in sustainability. That particle structure has important effects in engineering applications is well accepted. What is missing is the ability to adequately quanitify the important aspects of structure and apply these in a meaningful way to engineering problems. Fractal geometry has been useful in characterising aspects of the structure of aggregates and flocs, and this can be measured with small angle light scattering, sedimentation tests, image analysis and a number of other techniques. The focus of his work is to better understand and model these structures and their associated processes at the fundamental level through computer simulation (Monte Carlo and Discrete Particle Modelling simulation). This improves the ability to infer structure from physical measurements (such as light scattering) and to quantify the implications of particle structure for industrially important processes such as sedimentation, thickening and filtration. I have a growing interest in research in sustainability, particularly life cycle work applied to energy systems.
