Overview
Current Research:
My current research is in environmental geochemistry and mineralogy of mine wastes. I will be focusing of Cobalt mineralisation and speciation in mine wastes, soils and waters. The Aims of this research are three fold;
(i) Thorough mineralogical and geochemical characterisation of Co in solid and aqueous phases – two sites comparison approach
(ii) Investigate mineral interactions by simulating using PHREEQC
(iii) Determination of Bioaccessibility of different Co-mineral species in SLFs and SGFs
