Mr Minh Nguyen studied chemical engineering and chemistry at the University of Adelaide, with the honours research project: "Copper and carbon nitride electrocatalytic materials for CO2 reduction" and key member of the honours project: "LNG pretreatment plant" in association with Santos Ltd. As an undergraduate, he was involved in the fuels assesssment team for Project Everest, deployed in Timor-Leste working in a multi-disciplinary team, focusing on combustion engineering and business development in the agriculture and sustainable fuels sector.
His recent experience involves surface engineering in the industrial manufacturing industry, specialising in additive manufacturing technologies including tungsten carbide laser cladding with industry partner Laserbond. This role developed proven hands-on manufacturing skills, including technical troubleshooting, and a specialised understanding of laser metal powder deposition processes. Additionally, estabilishing expertise in metal surface engineering, process optimisation and additive manufacturing technologies. Prior to employment at UniSA, Minh also held a number of positions in industry including in the quality systems department at PespiCo and the production quality control department at Adelaide Brighton Cement.
Minh is currently employed as Technical Officer: Materials Engineer within the Future Industries Institute (FII) at the University of South Australia working on the IMCRC industry project: "Delivery of high-quality laser clad coatings for heavy wear and corrosion protection in slurry pumps". Established through the Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (IMCRC), the partnership is set to boost the quality and lifetime of high value slurry pumps and pump systems. This hybrid role sees him involved in the designing and performing of laser metal deposition (LMD) processes at Laserbond's Cavan facilities, as well as the materials characterisation, accelerated wear and corrosion testing at FII.
