Research Projects

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.

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.
