Meet Dr. Linh Vu

Lecturer, Engineering

"I fortunately met many good lecturers and attended many interesting lectures during my study as an undergraduate then PhD student at Sydney University. 

Now I love to share my knowledge in Process Systems Engineering: process modelling, optimisation and control with research students at the school of Engineering and Energy, Murdoch University.

I enjoy teaching all PSE-related topics because these are essential knowledge for all graduated engineers while working in different areas from petroleum, mineral to dairy and food industries.

Some of our PSE-related papers published in the last few years show that PSE has a broad range of applications not only in chemical industries but also in pharmaceutical, sugar and dairy industries."
