Three Research Thrusts
Connected programmes of work, from rock face to whole mine.
Students and projects are organised around three official RAMMS thrusts. Digital twins recur across all three, connecting physical understanding and operational data to useful decisions.
Cutting and Drilling Hard Rock
Understanding and optimising cutting, drilling and the rock-machine interface, with digital twins linking measured rock properties, tool condition and machine response.
