Graduate Students
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.
Daniyal Shabbir Doola
MSc Student
Daniyal is researching the optimisation of grinding mills using acoustic sensors and machine learning techniques.
Anastasiia Stepanova
MSc Student
Anastasiia's research aims at understanding the role of energy efficient comminution technologies in facilitating space mining and clean energy transition.
Penghui Wang
MSc Student
Penghui is investigating global extraterrestrial activities which may contribute to the clean energy transition - delving into technological feasibility, economic viability, environmental impact, and regulatory aspects.
Shiqi Wu
MSc Student
Shiqi is investigating current particle classification methods in mineral processing and how they could be transitioned for space mining applications.
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.
Elisabeth Maya Rosa
PhD Candidate
Elisabeth's research aims at extracting critical metals from low-grade resources. Particularly, this project will develop advanced beneficiation and extraction methods for rare earth elements in complex, currently uneconomical, low-grade resources.
Seftria Anjasmara
MSc Student
Seftria is investigating the environmental and economic implications of high rare earth element demand with links to the need for novel technologies to address the clean energy transition.
Hanxin Lyu
MSc Student
The transition towards a sustainable energy system requires the extraction of essential metals like cobalt and nickel. Hanxin is investigating sustainable extraction techniques and economic pathways for cobalt and nickel from low-grade lateritic ores.
Mengyi Shen
MSc Student
Mengyi is researching the drivers for technology transition within the past three decades for nickel and cobalt extraction, and how recent novel technologies must transition in addressing increasing global demand for nickel and cobalt.
Omar St Paul
MSc Student
Omar's research is aimed at understanding the role of green hydrogen in decarbonising the nickel and cobalt processing industry whilst improving extraction performance from low-grade lateritic ores.
