About me

I am currently a PhD student in process metallurgy with a specialization in hydrometallurgy and a strong focus on the recovery of critical raw materials. My research is focused on developing efficient methods for the extraction and value creation of Cu, Sb, and Bi, while converting toxic As into environmentally safe and harmless products from industrial decoupage sludges. The research is mainly laboratory-based and focuses on leaching behavior, solution chemistry, and selective separation techniques, with the goal to convert metallurgical residues into valuable secondary resources and support a sustainable and circular use of critical raw materials.
