Assistant Professor, Department of Mining and Materials Engineering

Mining and Materials Engineering
Current research:
| PhD in metallurgical engineering. Specialization in material science, electrometallurgy (e.g. the aluminum electrolysis process) and pyrometallurgy (e.g. graphitization of carbon materials). Graphitization is the process which produces graphitic carbons (materials similar to graphite) from graphenic carbons (materials similar to graphene) through extreme heat treatment (∼ 3000 ◦C). My research impacts the environmental performance of various energy and metallurgical processes. For example, my work resulted in a technology transfer to potentially reduce the carbon anode consumption (and associated greenhouse gas emissions) by up to 30% during high temperature aluminum electrolysis. |
