Dr. Anthony Yeung obtained his doctorate in Physics from the University of British Columbia in 1994. He has extensive experience as a post-doctoral fellow before being hired by Syncrude Canada Ltd. as a Research Scientist. His research at Syncrude focused on colloid interface science and applications in bitumen demulsification and froth treatment. Since returning to academia in 2000, he has been with the Department of Chemical & Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta. Dr. Yeung's research interests lie in the mechanics and thermodynamics of fluid-fluid interfaces and two-dimensional transport phenomena, particularly experimental studies on microscopic deformable surfaces. His work applies to various areas, including emulsions, oil sands processing, macromolecules in fluid-fluid interfaces, and the attachment and transport of particulates at oil-water interfaces. He leads projects at the Centre for Oil Sands Innovation and emphasizes both theoretical and experimental aspects of his research. His recent work highlights the distinct physical properties of microinterfaces compared to their macroscopic counterparts, making the study of microinterfacial phenomena essential for understanding stability and other characteristics in heterogeneous systems such as emulsions and microcapsules used in drug delivery applications.
