Tejbir Singh is a Chemical Engineer who earned his PhD from The University of Newcastle in 2022 with a research emphasis on improving the iron ore sintering process. After PhD, he joined the Centre for Ironmaking Materials Research at the same university as a Research Associate. In his current position, Tejbir's research objectives are characterising the Australian iron ore and enhancing its use in ironmaking via sintering. He is also investigating the role of iron sinter in innovative low-carbon ironmaking processes.

Yul Hong is a research engineer currently working in Hyundai Steel's Iron making Research Team.

Dr. Mohammad Hoque has specialized in multiphase turbulent flows while doing his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Newcastle, Australia. The principal objective of this study was to increase our understanding of single and binary phase turbulence using the fully resolved particle image velocimetry technique. During his Ph.D., Dr. Hoque has developed an advanced measurement technique to study the fluid flow inside the reactors for chemical and mineral processing, focusing on the transfer and utilization of energy in such equipment. Dr. Hoque currently extensively investigates the physical interaction of basic sinter and lump during the softening and melting process using the X-ray/Neutron Computed Tomography (CT) scanning technique. This research is carried out in the Centre for Ironmaking Materials Research (CIMR) at the Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources. Dr. Hoque’s research is fundamental in nature, aimed at developing and improving the predictive tools used in engineering and mineralog

Isis earned her Metallugical Engineering degree from Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil in 2015. She has recently completed her PhD thesis at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia. Her research focused on exploring the impact of mineralogy on the strength, reducibility, and porosity of iron ore sinters. Presently, Isis serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher, contributing her expertise to the Iron Ore Geometallurgy team at CSIRO, Pullenvale, Australia.
