Facet Amtech has a catalyst that has some amazing properties. Watch his space as we work out just how good it is and what we can do to revolutionize the ammonia market

Helping founders navigate the the tension between customers, tech and progress. It's been a privilege to be part of the program co-design and co-delivery and the great things coming out of Newcastle.I was the EIR to 60 odd teams 100+ founders, an experience that taught me just so much.

Diffuse Energy is a startup who have designed the world’s most efficient small wind turbine. These turbines will see application globally in micro-grid and remote locations. Diffuse Energy Successfully completed the CSIRO On Prime and accelerate programs and have recently deployed the first turbine for in field-testing.There are many current microgrids with solar + battery + diesel with diesel being a significant cost both financially and environmentally. The addition of a secondary input of a small wind turbine to these systems can significantly reduce diesel usage.Our first turbine the Hyland 920 is market ready and serves small microgrids to offset diesel usage, especially for remote telecommunications. It has the highest output for its size (920 mm diameter) on the market, it is rated at 220W at 11m/s and in high wind conditions can generate as much as 1kW. Depending on the site, you can expect between 400-600 kWh P/A for each Hyland Wind turbine. They can supply 12, 24, 48 V systems.Soon we will develop a larger model at approximately 3000 mm diameter that will generate in the order of 4-6 MWh P/A.We are happy to work with all microgrid suppliers to improve the performance of their grids while maintaining a small footprint.

Developing prototype applications for MGA (Miscible Gap Alloys) materials to provide practical use for stored thermal energies. MGA's are a new type of thermal storage material developed at the University of Newcastle and are in the very early stages. They offer a promising solution to having a usable energy source 24/7 driven by a concentrated solar array, having both higher energy densities and without the safety concerns of other technologies currently being used.

Facilitate design and construction of research equipment and experiments for both student and academic projects. This is an exciting roll that allows me to be involved in solving ridiculously wide array of Engineering problems. It forces me to maintain a diverse range of knowledge and skills as well as continually learning new ones.It also allows me to coach and guide young engineers to solve real world problems.

Great opportunity to be on the other side of the fence assisting research teams think about the broader impact of their research, potentially through commercialisation. Delivering this program was amazing fun and super rewarding and humbling: There are some fantastic Australian researchers doing mid blowing things.

Helping clients with maintenance strategies and systems, both mechanical and electrical. Drawing on experience providing same to numerous mine sites and mining manufacturers across Australia in both coal and hard rock. Able to provide high level data analysis as well as facilitate efficient systems to collect relevant data.Also able to provide Australian Standard audits against mechanical systems and conveyors.Previously completed - AS1657, AS4024, AS-1755 (now AS4024), MDG-41

ON is Australia's sci-tech innovation accelerator dedicated to unearthing amazing research and steering it towards high potential innovative ventures. Established by CSIRO in 2015, ON specialises in assisting researchers from the fields of science and technology working on projects that have the potential to shape Australia's future.Diffuse Wind Energy's product is a small wind turbine that, through being enclosed within a diffuser, can produce nearly twice the power output of existing wind turbines of the same size. Their additional diffuser also makes their turbine safer and quieter than existing turbines, both of which are key considerations for potential customers.

PDS gave me the opportunity to have a varied roll in the organization. Primarily my responsibility was providing our clients with RCM and FMECA facilitation working with Availablilty Work Bench ( AWB ) software.• ARCA Facilitator training (Arms) • AWB training (Arms)• RCM2 intro (PWC The Asset Partnership)• RCM2 Facilitator (PWC The Asset Partnership)This work has allowed me to see gaps in current CMMS systems and put me in a good position to help the growth and development of PDS' suite of condition management software. In recent times I had been involved more in business development, seeking opportunities with new clients and stakeholders to further develop and value add to our solutions.Providing business acumen to assist growth and develop PDS' business strategy to broach into new markets. Facilitate changes required to the PDS product line to allow this transformation.

Worked with a project team on the design and proof of concept on a new bulk materials handling system, the rail conveyor. There were many unique problems to solve which made it an interesting project to be part of.https://im-mining.com/2022/04/28/thyssenkrupp-to-build-first-in-the-world-rail-running-conveyor-systems-for-tier-1-copper-miner/
