Hsin Wei Wu Ph.D. in Mining Engineering from University of Queensland, Australia has over 30 year experience as both a university research and consultant to the mining and tunnelling industry. His consulting and research interests cover mining and tunnelling ventilation, mine fires, mine dusts, diesel particulate matter, mining evaluations and financial analysis. He has authored over 90 publications and involved over serval major research grants. He is currently a director of the consulting company Gillies Wu Mining Technology as part of The Minserve Group.

Dr. Ping Chang is a Lecturer in Mining Engineering at the WA School of Mines, Curtin University, Australia. His expertise lies in the development and optimisation of advanced technologies for controlling mining-induced particles. Dr. Chang's innovative work encompasses the characterisation and mitigation of diverse dust types, including coal dust, diesel particulate matter, open-pit haul road dust, and mine tailing dust. Beyond particle control, Dr. Chang's research interests extend to the application of computational fluid dynamics in mining engineering, advancing mine electrification, and enhancing mine health and safety protocols. He is particularly renowned for his contributions to mine ventilation, with a focus on Ventilation on Demand (VoD) systems. Dr. Chang's work not only addresses critical safety and health issues in the mining industry but also integrates cutting-edge technologies to improve operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
