Webinar: Application of Quantitative Microanalysis Techniques in Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy

Jeff is a microprobe specialist at the Centre for Advanced Microscopy, Australian National University. He obtained his PhD in metallurgical engineering from the University of Queensland in 2013. He has a BE (chemical engineering) from Nanjing University of Technology and an MSc (materials science) from the University of Queensland. Jeff has extensive experience in the experimental study of high temperature phase equilibria and gas-solid reaction kinetics/mechanisms with application to the pyrometallurgical production of metals. He has strong expertise in developing and applying advanced microscopy and microanalysis techniques including EPMA and LA-ICP-MS for both fundamental and industrial level research in metallurgy and materials science. He has on-going collaborations with international research institutions, major ferrous and non-ferrous metal producers and metal recycling firms on projects with focus on improving process efficiency and waste re-utilisation. He is currently also an honorary research fellow at Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University and the state representative for Australian Microbeam Analysis Society.
