Research Interests
We
come across porous materials in many walks of life including rocks,
sand, biological materials and wood, paper and board. Our
research primarily centers around developing a better understanding
of the fundamental characteristics of porous materials and how they
relate to transport processes.
This
is then used in designing more energy efficient manufacturing
processes and also “engineer” products specifically tailored to meet
required end-use applications.
Research
and teaching entails a diverse array from chemical and biological
process modeling to the dewatering of engineered porous
bio-materials such as those of paper manufacturing.
