Wei Pin obtained his Master degree in Mechanical Engineering with a first class honour from the University of Hull. During his last year of master study, he was appointed as a researcher looking at developing a miniaturised aerosol particle analyser as a side project. Following that, Wei Pin further pursued his doctorate research at the University of Leeds with his thesis titled “Attrition and Phase Changes during Agitated Filter Bed Drying” under the supervision of Professor Mojtaba Ghadiri. He was involved in research projects such asADDoPT (Advanced Digital Design of Pharmaceutical Therapeutics) and Friction: The Tribology Enigma, both supported by the EPSRC. He is now a research fellow in particle technology and a researcher co-investigator of the new EPSRC-funded research project on Triboelectrification: Modelling, Validation and Application.
