We are a specialised research group within the School of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Leeds, focusing on the fundamentals of Particle Technology, in particular on the development of relationships between microscopic and macroscopic properties and phenomena of particulate systems.

Professor of Chemical Engineering

• The macroscopic bulk behaviour of particulate systems is governed by the microscopic interactions and motion of the individual particles in the assembly

• Our research philosophy involves characterising particle properties at single particle level to which the bulk behaviour is linked

• Numerical tools DEM and CFD are used to simulate the bulk behaviour of particulate solids subjected to external forces, such as fluid drag, gravity, electric fields
