I am a chemist by trade with a specialty in physical chemistry, particularly in examining chemical reactions/processes. My main expertise includes the following: physical chemistry; anti-fouling expertise; Bayer process; crystal growth, kinetics and thermodynamics of chemical reactions; high power ultrasonics; zeolites; thin film deposition by gas phase and sol gel processes; and carbon nanotubes and nanowires of other materials. I have managed or been actively involved in many research projects, and have attracted more than $2,000,000 in research funding from competitive research grants and external contracts. In all, I have more than 22 years experience in research, and am quite familiar with a range of research environments.

Treatment of high conductivity dredge spoil material using Groundswell? continuous fermentation process
- Indicative Funding
- $1,380
- Summary
- The Groundswell? process is a process for making HumiSoil? a humus-rich soil. The research project proposes to utilise the Groundswell? continuous fermentation process to treat 50 tonnes of high conductivity dredge spoil material. The proposal aims to convert this contaminated material into a saleable product. The project team proposes to combine 50 tonnes of dredge spoil with 250 tonnes of urban waste including green waste and agricultural waste.
