Professor Aibing Yu specialized in process metallurgy, obtaining BEng in 1982 and MEng in 1985 from Northeastern University, PhD in 1990 from University of Wollongong (UoW), and DSc in 2007 from the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Since 1992, he has been with UNSW School of Materials Science and Engineering. Currently he is Scientia Professor and ARC Federation Fellow, directing a world-class research facility “Lab for Simulation and Modelling of Particulate Systems (SIMPAS)”.
He is a world-leading scientist in particle/powder technology and process engineering, which is very much related to the mineral/metallurgical/chemical/material industries. He has made many significant contributions and is recognised as an authority in particle packing, particulate and multiphase processing, and simulation and modelling. He has authored >600 publications (including >300 collected in the Web of Science), and delivered many invited plenary/keynote presentations at various international conferences. Currently he is on the editorial board of >10 learned journals including Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, Powder Technology, Granular Matter, and ISIJ International.
He is a recipient of a number of prestigious awards/fellowships including CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship, ARC Queen Elizabeth II, Australian Professorial and Federation Fellowships, Josef Kapitan Award from Iron and Steel Society (ISS), Ian Wark Medal and Lecture from Australian Academy of Science, ExxonMobile Award from Australian and New Zealand Federation of Chemical Engineers, NSW Scientist of Year 2010 in the category of engineering, mathematics and computer science, and Top 100 Most Influential Engineers in Australia (2011). He was elected to Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) in 2004, and Australian Academy of Science (AAS) in 2011.
