Lewis Scott

Biography

Lewis obtained his Masters' degree from the University of Leeds in Chemical Engineering, with an awarded scholarship from the School of Chemical Engineering. During his placement year, he worked for the National Nuclear Laboratories (NNL) simulation team and was placed in a role helping to migrate old flowsheets to the new software gPROMs. The role was based at the Sellafield site in Cumbria, so some roles involved working with engineers from the various plants on the site. Upon returning to Leeds, he undertook a masters project predicting the mass absorption rate inside a pulse column based on the uranium post-processing route. The project was simulation-based and achieved using the skills developed at NNL and the software MATLAB. After completing his degree, he enrolled onto the CP3-CDT combined MSc-doctoral program at the Univesity of Leeds. His masters' project investigated the effect different amine species has on the formation vaterite; an unstable polymorph of calcium carbonate. Currently, he is working on his doctoral thesis investigating predictive milling within a spiral jet mill using combined Computational Fluid Dynamic - Discrete Element Method (CFD–DEM) modelling.
