Biography
Dr Yansong Shen is a Senior Lecturer in School of Chemical Engineering at University of New South Wales (UNSW). He obtained his BEng and MEng degrees in Northeastern University (China) and PhD degree in UNSW. His research interests include process modelling and simulation and its applications in the areas of process metallurgy, coal preparation and utilization, biomass conversion, water treatment, and renewable energy reactor designs. He published over 100 peer-reviewed papers including 50 journal papers in the field of process engineering with H-index 16 as of 2016, secured 6 ARC grants since 2012 as lead CI or co-CI, established industry engagements in Australia and overseas, and won several honours/fellowships e.g. ARC APDI Fellowship and ATSE Emerging Future Leaders in Low Emissions Coal Technology Fellowship. He is member of Chartered IChemE, TMS, AIST, and invited/plenary speakers in several international conferences. 

Abstract
Process design and control plays a significant role in modern industries. Most processes and reactors are very complex, as they usually involve not only multiphase flows but also heat and mass transfers related to chemical reactions and their interactions. The operation must be optimized in order to be competitive and sustainable, particularly under the more and more demanding economic and environmental conditions.  This will need continuous innovative research and development. Computer simulation and modelling, supported by experiments, has emerged as an indispensable adjunct to the traditional modes of investigation for design, control and optimization of processes, reactors, and devices.  In this presentation, Dr Shen will report his core research on process modelling and design of reacting flows and the applications to a range of complex processes and reactors in conventional and emerging industries. Several examples of industry applications will be used for demonstration, including process metallurgy, coal preparation and utilization. The modelling works are indeed helpful to understand fundamentals and optimize & develop new, cleaner and more efficient technologies with measurable industrial outcomes.
