I am a Professor at the University of Sheffield and a member of the Particle Products Group (PPG). My research interests are diverse within this constantly growing area, ranging from mechanisms of granulation to particle breakage and particle–wall interaction studies. My research centres mainly on understanding mechanisms in granule formation, use and break up. The overall aim is to apply a scientific understanding of the process at different length scales to improve the final granule quality, hence enabling new, novel industrial applications and improvements in mechanical granule properties.
I am the chairman of the Agglomeration Working Party of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, and a committee member of the IChemE Particle Technology Subject Group. My group is also proud to host the 6th International Granulation Workshop in 2013 in Sheffield.
