Xiaopeng ‘Gavin’ Bi is interested in understanding complex particle-fluid dynamics in various environments, including mineral processing (e.g. Calix-AU flash reactor) and power generation (e.g. Sandia-US G3P3). His work involves performing high-fidelity lab-scale measurements, analysing large-scale datasets, and using and developing novel optical techniques such as LIF/LIP, shadow, PIV/PTV and high-speed cameras. He is an active participant and presenter at national and international research conferences and industry forums. He was mentored by a senior industrial supervisor to help him better understand industrial challenges and improve his professional skills. Gavin is passionate about applying his studies and experience to real-word problems.
