Dr Qinfu Hou was awarded Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) 2018

Dr Qinfu Hou was awarded Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) 2018. This project aims to develop an innovative interface model and a comprehensive understanding of the interfacial behaviours between granular materials using advanced numerical, experimental and theoretical approaches. This project expects to generate new knowledge of mixing and segregation in particle science and technology and a practical guide to applications. Expected outcomes of this project include the enhanced competitiveness of Australia and energy efficiency in its important industries such as minerals, metallurgical, chemical, energy and pharmaceutical. These outcomes should provide significant benefits such as mitigated emissions and global warming in a carbon and resource-constrained world.

He would like to give his sincere thanks to all supporters including his mentor at Monash University Professor Aibing Yu, the team SIMPAS, the Department of Chemical Engineering, Research Office at the University and Faculty levels, and the Granted Group.

Thanks also go to my family for their love and being supportive consistently.
