After completing his PhD in 2005, Dr Stickland worked as a Research Scientist for ICI and AkzoNobel in the United Kingdom for several years, studying coatings and adhesives. Returning to academia in 2009, his primary research area is the flow and deformation (or rheology) of particulate suspensions. Suspensions may be under a shear load such as in pipe flow and flow down a slope, or under a compressional load such as in filtration and centrifugation. This work is applied across a wide range of industries including mineral processing and wastewater treatment. This includes development and validation of experimental characterisation methods and modelling tools for sedimentation, thickening, filtration, centrifugation, drying and evaporation applications.
