| Brief Career History: | Dr
Matthew Jeffrey was awarded a Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical) with
Honours from the University of New South Wales in 1994. He was one
of the Parker Centre's first PhD students (enrolled at Curtin University),
and was awarded his PhD in 1998. His doctoral thesis was titled "A
Kinetic and Electrochemical Study of the Dissolution of Gold in Aerated
Cyanide Solutions: The Role of Solid and Solution Phase Purity".
Following his PhD, he worked as a lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Monash University in Melbourne for eight years. He taught a range of subjects, including reaction engineering, industrial chemistry and process dynamics and control, and continued to be heavily involved in hydrometallurgical research. Dr Jeffrey returned to the Parker Centre in October 2005 as a Research Scientist with the CSIRO Minerals Gold Group and the project leader of the Centre's "Non-cyanide Leaching and Recovery of Gold" project. He succeeded Dr John Rumball as the Centre's Gold Market Leader in September 2007. |
