Gertrude Acquah
PhD Candidate
Gertrude's research aims at developing new knowledge in understanding the fundamentals of critical battery metal extraction from complex ores. Specifically, her study will focus on processing and extracting nickel and cobalt from laterite mineral ores and wastes.
Daniel Nana Nyarko
PhD Candidate
Daniel's research is focused on optimising coarse composite flotation in Hydrofloat. This project addresses key questions across mineral liberation limitations, surface chemistry, dry comminution, and selectivity.
Flynn Bohonis
PhD Candidate
Flynn's research is focused on unravelling the reaction mechanisms of silica (quartz) sand under hydrothermal process conditions, with links to super critical water reactions as a function of process variables.
Theophilus Amos-Judge
PhD Candidate
Theophilus' research aims at improving the understanding of comminution strategy on downstream process performance. A key focus is on dry comminution with links to downstream flotation and hydrometallurgical processes, unravelling opportunities for low-grades ores and wastes processing.
David Effah
PhD Candidate
David's research is focused on application of biohydrometallurgical methods for eco-efficient extraction of refractory precious and critical metals. Particular focus is on polymetallic low-grade ores with complex mineralogical characteristics.
Caleb Ankomah
PhD Candidate
Caleb is developing smart hydrometallurgical technologies for sustainable extraction of selected critical minerals (e.g., antimony, gallium and germanium) from unconventional sources.
