About
Key Activities
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics technique to investigate complex fluid flow structure, especially turbulent reacting flows in fires and gas bubble coalescence and breakage in two-phase flows. Current research has centred on unsteady turbulence modelling using large eddy simulation approach and population balance modelling using discrete class methods and statistic method of moments.
Involved research projects
Research in Business (RiB): Improving the efficiency of a forward curved blower system
ARC Linkage Project LP0882413: Development of an Integrated Platform for Performance-Based Safety Assessment
ARC Discovery Project DP0877734: Multi-group Stochastic Modelling of Population Balance for Gas-Liquid Flow
AutoCRC Scholarship for Postgraduate Research: Developing Numerical Model for Flow-Induced Vibration Excitation Mechanisms towards Virtual Laboratory Simulation
ARC Special Research Initiatives SR0563610: Developing an E-Platform for Application of Clinical Management in the Human Respiratory and Vascular System
Accomplishments and achievements
2012: ATN-DAAD (Australian Technology Network of university - German Academic Exchange Service): Joint Research Co-operation Scheme (ATN-DAAD)
2009: Victoria Fellowship (Victorian Government, Australia)
2008-11: Australian Post-Doctoral Fellowship – Industry (Australia Research Council)
2007-08: RMIT University Emerging Researcher Grant (RMIT University)
2003-04: Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fellowship Renewal (Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund Council)
2002-03: Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fellowship (Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund Council)
