Whether you are a fellow researcher, student, or industry professional, I hope this site becomes a space for meaningful exchange and shared growth.

A large open-pit mine with terraced levels carved into a hillside, creating a massive and layered appearance. The landscape is mostly barren with dusty roads leading to various levels of the pit. The scene is devoid of vegetation, emphasizing the stark industrial activity.

Sustainability Integration

Research on sustainable mining practices and stakeholder impacts.

A large open-pit mine with steep, terraced walls surrounds a body of turquoise water. The pit is situated in a landscape with sparse vegetation and patches of greenery, with a dense forest visible in the background under a clear blue sky.

Energy Transition

Investigating energy transition impacts on mining operations and practices.

Aerial view of an open-pit mine with visible layers of excavated earth. The terrain is marked by striations and varying earth tones, indicating different mineral deposits. Sparse vegetation or water may be present in certain areas.

A dense forest with rich greenery covers the hilly landscape, while a mining or construction site with multiple mounds of earth and gravel is situated in the foreground. The site includes a few small buildings and unpaved roads, suggesting industrial activity amidst the natural surroundings.

Dig Limits Optimization

For mining to be successful and sustainable, a carful assessment of dig limits is essential.

Circular Economy

While it is often associated with recycling and product design, in mining, it ties directly to mineral resource efficiency, minimizing sterilization, and designing for post-mining land use.

Work Experience

As a PhD candidate, I focus on sustainable mining practices, optimization techniques, and stakeholder impact assessment, contributing to responsible mineral development and advancing industry knowledge through research and collaboration.

Experience

Research and Collaboration

Engaging in innovative research and sharing insights on mining sustainability and optimization.

An aerial view of a large open-pit mine featuring concentric terraces carved into the earth, surrounded by barren, dusty terrain. There is heavy machinery at the bottom of the pit indicating active mining operations. The landscape is expansive and marked by shades of brown and pink.
