Dr Tong Deng has been active in a wide range of research since graduating with a PhD in 2001. His studies, ‘the influence of particle dynamics on erosion caused by solid particles’ were made under supervision from the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology where he has since continued his work as a Research Fellow/Consultant focussing on all aspects of bulk solids handling technology including erosive wear and electrostatics in powder handling systems.
