Biography
Prior to joining the University of Newcastle in 2010, I spent over 30 years in industrial research. My employment at BHP Research, Shortland - now Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER) – spanned over 28 years. During this time our team provided technical support to the marketing of BHP Billiton iron ores and coals worldwide. The aims of our research activities included: defining the link between fundamental iron ore and metallurgical coal properties and their performance in the ironmaking process, the formulation of ore and coal blends for effective sintering and coking, and the evaluation of new deposits. My current research activities continue to focus on these areas, and they include work funded directly by BHP Billiton and an ARC Linkage grant with BHP Billiton and BlueScope Steel as partner organisations.
