Rate My Professor Nicolas Francois

Francois has earned the ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellowship for 2016-2018 on biofilms in two-dimensional turbulent flows: effects on Lagrangian transport, and the ARC Industry Fellowship for 2024-2030 on improving Australian iron ore comminution for green steel production. He has led or co-investigated several ARC grants, including the ARC Training Centre for Multiscale 3D Imaging, Modelling and Manufacturing, and facilities for 4D coherent imaging velocimetry and liquid metamaterials. His scholarly output comprises 56 research items, featuring publications in prominent journals. Notable works include "Improved particle separation, characterisation and analysis for ore beneficiation studies using 3D X-ray micro-computed tomography" (Minerals Engineering, 2024), "In-situ study of texture-breakage coupling in a copper ore using X-ray micro-CT" (Minerals Engineering, 2024), "Fluctuation-Induced Interaction in Turbulent Flows" (Physical Review Letters, 2022), "A versatile microtomography system to study in situ the failure and fragmentation in geomaterials" (Review of Scientific Instruments, 2022), and "A Hydrodynamic Analog of the Casimir Effect in Wave-Driven Turbulent Flows" (Fluids, 2022).
