Bio

As a current Environmental Science Master's student, my research investigates and compares methods of critical element recovery from mining wastewaters, both for economic and remediation purposes. Specifically, my research analyzes rare earth element, uranium, and arsenic aqueous geochemistry, and the ways in which geochemical characteristics can be leveraged to guide and enhance extraction techniques.
