This course has an emphasis on practical aspects of technology to give a comprehensive introduction to materials handling before moving on to the more detailed aspects.
The course will be delivered online via MS Teams and is led by Mike Bradley, Professor of Bulk and Particulate Technologies and Director of The Wolfson Centre. He has worked internationally on design and troubleshooting of bulk solids handling as a commercial consultant and research expert for over twenty years.
Also contributing will be Richard Farnish, Consultant Engineer, with over twenty years’ experience in commercial design work related to materials handling, and Dr Baldeep Kaur, a Researcher expert in the transportation of materials in the bulk solids handling industry.
