SMI recently had 24 students graduate with their doctoral degrees.
The students studied through all 6 of SMI's centres, with projects ranging from best practice jobs decision-making to investigating textural drivers for separation performance in a variable and complex ore body.
SMI's purpose is to develop game-changing graduates by working with our partners to co-create solutions to the big challenges facing the sector.
Check out the gallery below for all the pictures from the graduation.
