معرفی
Anthony Yeung is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Engineering and serves as Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies) for the Faculty of Engineering. His academic career spans over two decades at the institution following industry experience at Syncrude Canada Ltd.
Education:
- PhD in Physics, University of British Columbia, 1994
Research Interests:
Dr. Yeung specializes in microinterfacial phenomena with focus on mechanics and thermodynamics of fluid-fluid interfaces, two-dimensional transport phenomena, and experimental studies of microscopic deformable surfaces. His work has critical applications in oil sands processing, emulsion stability, and macromolecular behavior at interfaces (including water-based coatings, food colloids, and biomembranes). He investigates how micrometre-scale interface properties govern liquid-liquid dispersion stability in industrial and biological systems.
Scientific Awards:
- No awards listed in provided information
Dr. Yeung teaches undergraduate and graduate courses including Chemical Reactor Analysis I, Computational Methods in Engineering, and Fundamentals of Oilsands Extraction. As project leader at the Centre for Oil Sands Innovation, he directs industry-relevant research on bitumen extraction processes though specific grant details remain unreported. His mentorship extends to course instruction but no named advisees appear in documentation.
He maintains active affiliation with the Centre for Oil Sands Innovation, contributing to interdisciplinary research teams focused on advancing extraction technologies through fundamental interfacial science.
