I majored in Resource and Environmental Engineering during my undergraduate and master's degrees. During my master's course, I conducted a flotation based direct recycling study to separate cathode and anode active materials from waste LIB black mass and recycle them

Urban mines are rich in critical minerals and are an essential source of their supply. Therefore, I am conducting research on applying mineral processing technology to urban mines to ensure a stable supply of these minerals.
