Geoffrey Brooks (born November 9, 1962) is a Professor of Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology, Known for fundamentals of steelmaking and non-ferrous metallurgy. His research in these fields has earned him awards from organizations such as the Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST),[1] the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS),[2] and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3).[3][4]

Background

Brooks was born in Melbourne in 1962. He graduated with a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from RMIT[5] in 1984, completed a Bachelor of Arts (HPS, Media) Swinburne University of Technology in 1989[6] and his PhD in Chemical [7][8][6][9] Engineering from the University of Melbourne[10] in 1994. Brooks was appointed as a Lecturer in Materials Engineering at the University of Wollongong in 1993, where he worked closely with prominent metallurgist Professor Howard Worner on the use of biomass as a reductant in Ironmaking and the fundamentals of Steelmaking with staff at the Port Kembla Steelworks.

Research

Brooks' key work includes modeling steelmaking, leading teams on jet-liquid interaction,[11] heat transfer,[12] and reaction kinetics[13] in steelmaking. Collaborating with McMaster and Swinburne University, he developed the Bloated Droplet Theory in Oxygen Steelmaking, correlating steelmaking kinetics with iron droplets' "bloating" in FeO rich slag.[14] This bloating, debated in literature,[15][16][17] significantly impacts steelmaking kinetics and heat movement. His recent research focuses on scrap melting limits in Oxygen Steelmaking and public education on steel decarbonisation.

Awards and Honors

  • Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) Award[18]
  • Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) Award[19]
  • EPD Science Award[20]
  • Bessemer Gold Medal [21]
