| Prof. Danie Brink: Aquaculture | 14/11/2011 |
|
Professor Danie Brink is head of the Aquaculture Division in the Department of Genetics at Stellenbosch University. The Aquaculture Division has established a number of aquaculture pilot projects along the southern African coastline where a variety of indigenous fish – such as abalone, yellowtail, cob, oysters and mussels – are cultivated. In addition, the unit focuses on the development of artificial food sources for cultivated fish and the accelerated domestication of fish via genetic techniques such as selective breeding. |

| Professor Chris Aldrich: Process automation | 01/08/2011 |
|
The research of Professor Chris Aldrich focuses on process automation and, more specifically, on the development of fault diagnostic systems. Fault diagnostic systems are used to detect faults, novelties and deviations in complex systems, and are capable of notifying the system operator of a fault or anomaly as soon as it is detected. |

| Doctor Hanno Reuter: Performance evaluation of industrial cooling systems and thermal power plants | 22/06/2011 |
|
The research of Dr Hanno Reuter focuses on the performance enhancement and optimisation of industrial cooling systems. Dr Reuter uses computational fluid dynamics and experiments to develop sophisticated models and improved technology to optimise the cooling process by improving water distribution systems, air flow patterns, heat exchangers and design configurations, among other factors. |

| Doctor Dirk Stephan: Vitis Laboratory | 13/06/2011 |
|
Dr Dirk Stephan is the research manager of the Vitis Laboratory within the Department of Genetics at Stellenbosch University. The laboratory initially only studied viruses that infect grapevines, but has since expanded to provide a semi-commercial diagnostic service for growers, analysing and detecting pathogens that infect dates, raspberries, apples, onions and tomatoes, to name a few. Besides these diagnostic services, the laboratory also studies microRNA, viral vectors and antimicrobial peptides within plants. |

| Doctor Stephen Pelly: Medicinal chemistry | 11/05/2011 |
|
The research of Dr Stephen Pelly focuses on the area of medicinal chemistry which involves the design and synthesis of new drug entities that target specific diseases. |
|
| Professor Thomas Jones: Computer control systems | 11/05/2011 |
|
Professor Thomas Jones is the leader of a group of six researchers and approximately 30 postgraduate students who are studying the use of imbedded controllers to automate the control of dynamic systems, such as unmanned aircraft. By means of the imbedded controllers, aircraft can be taught to take off, land, fly from one destination to another, and handle complications along the way by themselves. |

| Professor Louw Hoffman: Meat Science | 03/05/2011 |
|
The research of Professor Louw Hoffman focuses on every stage of the meat industry, from “gate to plate”. His studies focus on the living conditions of animals prior to slaughter, the manner in which they are slaughtered, methods of preservation and the nutritional value of the resulting meat. His research extends to traditionally farmed species, poultry, aquaculture (fish) and exotic meats, an area in which he is regarded as a world leader. |
|
| Professor Peter Mallon: Polymer Science | 18/04/2011 |
|
The research of Professor Peter Mallon focuses on the creation and analysis of polymer materials with complex morphologies. Morphology refers to the solid state structure of the polymer, which determines its physical properties, and hence its potential applications. |
|
| Dr Paul Papka: Neutron detection | 18/04/2011 |
|
Dr Paul Papka, along with University of Stellenbosch Physics PhD student Daphney Singo, has developed a novel neutron detector that is able to measure extremely high levels of neutrons in the presence of high radiation levels. The detector offers a real-time reading and can cope with considerable neutron flux without any difficulties. |
