As a Mining and Minerals PhD student at the Camborne School of Mines, you will lead research projects that have a significant impact on both your chosen field of study and wider society. We work on a variety of different topics including mining and geotechnical engineering, industrial safety, surveying, optimised mineral processing, and understanding the impacts of mining on society and the environment.Our multi-disciplinary research group encompasses a wide range of applications including rock mechanics, excavation design and novel techniques, numerical modelling, mine automation, electronic control, mine planning, safety and risk management, accident/incident investigation, use of remote sensing and associated visualisation technology, to evaluate and characterise complex engineering problems. We address global challenges for the mining and excavation-related industry to maximise resources, improve safety and minimise risks.
