Work experience
Experience in scholarly and professional activities: participation in various international conferences, symposia, referee for various journals and grant applications._x000D_
Supervisor for graduate students._x000D_
Research activities in direct field measurement, wind tunnel modelling and computer simulation._x000D_
Involved in contract work for various government agencies and private industry in Canada and abroad. This work is primarily involved with the direct measurement, wind tunnel testing and computer modelling of particulate emissions from natural and disturbed surfaces as well as stockpiles and mine tailings. Through this work I have developed unique instrumentation for the direct measurement and modelling of particulate emissions and transport, including a versatile 12 m portable field wind tunnel.
