Associate Prof. Madoc Sheehan completed his PhD in chemical/environmental engineering (molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics modelling of solvent reactions) at UMIST in Manchester in 1999 before joining the Chemical Engineering discipline at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. He is currently an adjunct Associate Professor at James Cook University. He has a diverse range of interdisciplinary research interests associated with sustainability, including process modelling, energy conservation, biomass processing, water treatment, environmental risk, antibiotic resistance, drying, and de-watering. He has been modelling industrial processes for more than 20 years with direct experience in industries such as minerals processing, wastewater treatment, raw sugar milling, and biomass drying. He also researches bioreactor design, optimization and life cycle analysis. He is a passionate teacher and has worked on the design and mapping of engineering curricula to embed sustainability into undergraduate education. He has received national and institutional teaching and learning awards for both his curriculum work as well as for innovations in his assessment and teaching practices.
