Summary
My main research interests are hydrometallurgical processes, particularly heap leaching, and how mineralogy affects extraction processes. Valuable information from the sample's internal structure can be obtained by imaging the samples within a micro-CT scanner. Using image processing and quantification techniques, the curing/leaching processes can be better understood and models can be developed.
