About me

I am currently a doctoral candidate in Process Metallurgy, specializing in hydrometallurgy with a strong focus on critical raw material recycling. My research is centered on developing efficient methods for the extraction and valorization of Cu, Sb, and Bi, while transforming toxic As into environmentally safe and non‑harmful products from industrial decopperizing sludges. The research is predominantly laboratory‑based work and focuses on leaching behavior, solution chemistry, and selective separation techniques, aiming to transform metallurgical residues into valuable secondary resources and to support sustainable and circular use of critical raw materials.
