Abstract
This project aims to create a generally applicable framework for transferring academic innovations in the modelling of particulate materials into industrial practice in the UK. Even though some models are available in the literature which describe particle processes, these tend to be inadequate to meet the requirements of industry. Industry requires robust models which contain the key relevant physics, which are user-friendly and which are focused on delivering the output product specifications given a limited number of measured input parameters.
The process of twin-screw granulation has been selected as an exemplar industrial process which is simulated across multiple scales using the coupled methods of population balance modelling and the discrete element method, where the discrete element method is employed to provide particle-level physics and inform the large-scale population balance model.
Slides can be added in a few ways:
- Create slides using Wowchemy’s Slides feature and link using
slidesparameter in the front matter of the talk file - Upload an existing slide deck to
static/and link usingurl_slidesparameter in the front matter of the talk file - Embed your slides (e.g. Google Slides) or presentation video on this page using shortcodes.
Further event details, including page elements such as image galleries, can be added to the body of this page.

Research Scientist in Granular Mechanics
My research interests include particulate mechanics, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and other numerical simulation tools. I’m also interested in all things data and how to extract meaningful information from it.
