Future Industries Institute
Research Professor and Leader in Minerals and Resource Engineering with over 30 years’ experience in surface science, including 24 years focused on minerals processing. Based at the University of South Australia since 1992, his research examines physical and chemical processes at surfaces and interfaces, particularly mineral surface chemistry and processing behaviour. His work spans flotation, leaching, grinding and separation processes, mineral formation–processing relationships, and the influence of water chemistry on mineral processing. He is also highly experienced in advanced interface analysis, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ToF-SIMS, and has conducted research at major international synchrotron facilities including the Australian Synchrotron, NSRRC (Taiwan), ELETTRA (Italy) and APS (USA).
