Biography
In the past decade Dr Williams has built into the existing air-particle experimental equipment located at the University of Newcastle a significant range of experimental techniques in numerous test equipment (aeration chambers, pneumatic conveyors, air-slides, particle impact and erosion testers, aeration viscometers). Dr Williams has had the opportunity to extend his research into the dynamics of bulk material handling systems and associated fields, which include continued research into dynamics of bulk material systems and the wear evolution process within these systems. More recently, Dr Williams has led the Universities research into Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) for safe transportation of bulk solids, in particular, Iron Ore and Coal in addition to commencing research into best design practices for handling material Ores and Minerals mined near and below the water table, i.e. “Wet and Sticky Material”.
