Lequan Zeng

Lequan Zeng is currently a PhD student in Chemical Engineering at the University of Melbourne. His research focuses on applying coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics – Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) to investigate the mechanisms behind particle aggregation and selective aggregation in suspensions, with the goal of enhancing the recovery of fine valuable mineral particles in mineral processing. He has a particular interest in quantifying the size, size distribution, and structure of aggregates from computational data, as well as in examining particle aggregation and breakage dynamics, and developing force models for particles and fluid solvers in simulations. Prior to pursuing doctoral studies, Lequan earned his bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology and completed his master’s degree in the same field at the University of Melbourne.
