Tom Kendall B.E., M.Eng.Sc., M.B.A., FIEAust (CPEng, EngExec), FAusIMM, FIQ, MMICA, FAICD, is a Consulting Engineer with 40 years’ experience in mining, mineral dressing and heavy industry. He has specialist expertise in materials handling, underground and surface mine infrastructure, heap leach and CIP technology. Tom gained his initial operations experience in underground mines and mineral beneficiation plants with WMC Resources and in rock quarries with CSR Readymix.  He is an experienced design engineer who has engaged in the entire project development process for a range of mining and mineral beneficiation projects.

My focus at Momentum Engineering is on renewables and energy efficiency. Happy to discuss this and any related topics.

Completed a bachelor of Environmental Engineering from the University of Western Australia in 2004 and qualified as a civil engineer and currently practicing in this field. Has been involved with the design and management of several urban development and infrastructure projects to date.

Particularly focused on sustainable development and finding a way to implement and construct truly sustainable and smart urban development. This will involve integration of skills from various industries, such as energy, transport, planning, hydraulics, mechanical, and electrical fields. A major challenge will be breaking down the traditional barriers associated with planning, approvals, service provision, urban form and governance such that smart, ecologically friendly, socially vibrant and economically viable places can be achieved. Looking for people that share these thoughts and in order to build teams to make it happen.

Khanh Pham is the General Manager of TSG's WA operations.  He is part of the firm’s executive team.

Since joining TSG in 2005, Khanh has worked extensively with clients internationally and within Australia leading simulation-based value chain studies. He has worked across a diverse range of operations and commodities for resource companies large and small.

He has consulted on large scale capital expansion projects and value chain improvement projects where outcomes are underpinned by the application of operations research modelling and analytics techniques.

Khanh has a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons 1A) from the University of Western Australia as well as post graduate qualifications in Applied Finance.

Piero Velletri is a Managing Consultant at The Simulation Group with 20 years experience in the resource and mining industry, the majority of which has involved the practical application of discrete event simulation to complex value chains.

He has worked on projects for a diverse client base ranging from Tier 1 mining companies through to mid-tier producers, both in Australia and overseas. He has built significant expertise in multi-user supply chains and understands the challenges of optimising capacity on shared infrastructure.  In 2012, Piero was involved in the establishment of The Simulation Group’s Santiago office where he delivered numerous projects for one of the world’s largest copper mines.

Piero holds a BEng (hons) and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Western Australia as well as a MSc in Information Technology from Tohoku University in Japan.

As Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, Prof Dell has changed the profile of engineering education and research at the University of Western Australia, dramatically changing the education model and focussing the research to be more industry focussed and collaborative between disciplines.

Prof Dell joined the Faculty in 1994, after working for 10 years in industry developing technologies for optoelectronics at Telecom Research Laboratories in Australia and space radiation effects at Matra Marconi Space Systems (now EADS) in France. He was appointed Dean of the Faculty in 2010.

Prof Dell has more than 300 refereed publications. John’s work has resulted in the awarding of a number of US and Australian defence contracts. He is also a co-inventor of a number of patented device structures and fabrication technologies. He is joint winner of the inaugural DSTO/Australia Museum Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science in Support of Defence or National Security. This technology is now being developed for real-time analysis of soil properties for agriculture, as well as applications in food science, defence and medicine.

John has a strong commitment to research and teaching and believes strongly that the nexus between the two is essential, particularly in developing new ways to inspire and educate future engineers. He is particularly interested in developing leadership in students and graduates, and an understanding that solutions are not only technical but have social, economic and cultural dimensions that need to be taken into account.
