Kevin J Hanley is a Senior Lecturer and Deputy Head of Research at the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. He holds a PhD in Process Chemical Engineering from University College Cork, Ireland, obtained in 2011, and previously earned his Bachelor's degree in 2008 from the same institution. His research interests primarily revolve around the simulation systems and behaviour of granular materials within the realms of chemical and civil engineering. Specifically, he focuses on discrete element method (DEM) simulations to study various systems including pneumatic conveyors, silos, and granular materials used in civil engineering contexts like soil behaviour in construction. With a keen interest in enhancing the performance and fidelity of simulation tools, Hanley actively leads projects that address significant challenges in the field, often collaborating within the community of particulate solids simulations. He is committed to furthering educational opportunities, inviting enquiries from prospective PhD students with relevant backgrounds in engineering or science, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches to research.
