معرفی
Professor Anh Nguyen is a faculty member at the University of Queensland's School of Chemical Engineering, holding the rank of Professor. He previously held academic positions at the University of Newcastle, University of Utah, and Technical University of Kosice. His research focuses on colloid and interfacial science, with applications in mineral processing, saline water engineering, and sustainable materials. He leads the Mineral Processing and Interfacial Processes group and has secured funding from industry partners (BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto) and agencies like ARC. He has over 350 refereed journal papers, a research book on flotation science, and editorial roles in Advances in Colloid and Interface Science and International Journal of Mineral Processing. His teaching emphasizes critical thinking in chemical engineering fundamentals.
- Education: PhD in Mineral Processing (Technical University of Kosice)
- Awards: ARC Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship, Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship
- Grants: ARC Centre of Excellence for Eco-Efficient Mineral Beneficiation, PFAS Harvester Technology Project, and coal processing initiatives.
Research Interests: Exploration of colloid science in flotation, including bubble-particle interactions, saline water interfaces, and gas hydrates. Recent work includes PFAS removal via ozone foam fractionation and biomass conversion to chemicals.
Publications: Recent studies address flotation mechanisms (e.g., quartz-gypsum separation, lead-activated cassiterite), ion-specific effects in brines, and foam stability. Themes include mineral separation efficiency, environmental remediation, and sustainable industrial processes.
- Awards: ARC and international fellowships highlight his research impact.
- Advisory Roles: Academic and international advisor in chemical/metallurgical engineering.
- Supervision: Over 40 PhD candidates in colloid science, mineral processing, and environmental engineering.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Mineral Processing and Interfacial Processes group, collaborating on projects like coal flotation in seawater and foliar fertilizer design.
