Adrian Sheppard

Prof Adrian Sheppard is a Professor in the Department of Physics at The Australian National University. His research interests include parallel algorithms and improved techniques for 3D image processing, segmentation, and morphological analysis. He focuses on characterisation of complex structures through skeletonisation, partitioning, and network representations, as well as disordered networks and granular materials. His work also involves network modelling of drainage and imbibition in porous media and improved techniques in X-ray microtomography. Prof Sheppard is affiliated with the Physics Education Centre and the X-ray tomography and applications group.

Adrian Sheppard is a researcher at the Australian National University with expertise in Tomographic Imaging, Image Processing, Fluid flow, Nonlinear Optics, and Solitons. His work focuses on advanced imaging techniques for analyzing porous materials, including X-ray microtomography, image enhancement, and segmentation. He has contributed to studies on pore-scale characterization of carbonates, bone ingrowth into biomaterials, and fluid flow in subsurface systems. His research also explores solitons in nonlinear optics and digital rock physics, linking 3D imaging with acoustic and flow properties. Sheppard's work has implications for geologic CO2 sequestration, granular pile stability, and multiphase flow modeling.
