Presenter

Mark Knackstedt (BEng ChemEng, Columbia; PhD ChemEng, Rice) is a Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics at the Australian National University. He has led a group working for 20 years in the field of Digital materials technology based on 3D multiscale imaging, analysis and modelling. The key paradigm of the technology is to "image and compute"-- imaging the material, performing 3D time series imaging of experiments (e.g., flow, mechanical deformation) and building calibrated numerical simulations of the physical processes. He has helped to translate the technology into tangible commercial outcomes in the Energy industry.
