Dr. Hunter is an Associate Professor in Chemical and Nuclear Engineering, and is head of the Nuclear Engineering Group within the School of Chemical & Process Engineering (https://eps.leeds.ac.uk/chemical-engineering-sustainable-systems-processes/doc/nuclear-engineering). He has >80 publications in the areas of applied colloid and particle science, as well as multiphase suspension and slurry processing, while he has also been an investigator on +£3m in funding from UKRI, EU H2020 and industry. His main current motivation in multiphase flows is in advanced in situ characterisation methods to safely monitor the transfer and separation of radioactive wastes, and also the development novel, intensified effluent treatment processes. Of particular relevance to the IMFTF, he is currently an investigator on the UK’s EPSRC funded TRANSCEND Consortium (https://transcendconsortium.org/) on the design of novel online acoustic backscatter systems for remote slurry monitoring, while he is also an investigator on UK-Korea funded work into electrokinetic separation for enhanced decontamination. He was also work package lead for the EU H2020 funded ProPAT project (http://pro-pat.eu/) on the development of advanced measurement and control systems for industrial multiphase process systems in the high value chemicals and minerals sectors.
