Biography
My research interest from societal point of view is related to recovery of critical metals from secondary raw materials. From scientific point of view I am a researcher in the field of hydrometallurgical separation methods. Particularly I work with liquid-liquid extraction (solvent extraction) and ion exchange.
My teaching experience is mainly consisted of supervision of 24 Master’s Theses, ten Bachelor’s Theses, four PhD students, and two annually taught courses (Hydrometallurgy, 5 ECTS cr, and Laboratory Exercises in Applied Chemistry, 4 cr) since 2014 at LUT University. Since 2020 I will also teach Unit Operations B (4 cr). In addition I have been giving single lectures in all levels and have minor roles in few other courses in chemical engineering.
