Wenran Cao is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Water in the Minerals Industry (CWiMI) in the Sustainable Minerals Institute. With a track record of successfully delivering short- and long-term research/industry projects, he has developed expertise in conducting field investigation, in-situ measurements, and soil/water sampling, as well as collecting, analysing, and interpreting experimental data to produce insightful reports. He also specialises in developing theoretical and numerical models of physical and geochemical coupling to tackle water-related challenges, as well as conceptualising and implementing groundwater monitoring systems with remote access.

Research impacts
Wenran Cao's research interests include investigating the interactive mechanisms between the flow, transport, and reaction domains, and predicting mineral mobilisation, transformation, and distribution in the mining environment. He is currently working on an ARC Linkage Project to address the national need for effective management of acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD).
