Overview

Background

Bellson holds a Bachelor of Science degree in minerals engineering from the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT), Ghana and a PhD in minerals and materials engineering from the then Ian Wark Research Institute, now Future Industries Institute, University of South Australia. His PhD research topic was “Fluidised-bed flotation of coarse sulphide minerals: factors influencing value recovery” within the AMIRA P260F series.

Bellson has worked as a lecturer at the University of Mines and Technology, Ghana, and as a process engineer at SIMEC Mining (previously Arrium Mining). He joined The University of Queensland's JKMRC with the desire to use his experience in applied research, focusing on novel advances in mineral processing
