Project: Lithium Hydroxide Converter Guben (24,000 tpa LHM) Responsibilities: • Simulation of the lithium hydroxide monohydrate refining process from Spodumene with HSC Chemistry simulation software and general mass, water, and energy balance of the process • Development and review of metallurgical test work program in collaboration with external laboratory vendors and integration of the results from the test work in the simulation program

My master's thesis was titled "Selective early recovery of lithium from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries”. Responsibilities: • Black mass sample preparation and characterization (ICP, XRD and PSD) • Experiments on black mass activation / pre-treatment in high-temperature furnace (variation of parameters such as calcination temperature, time, and additive ratio) and on leaching of activated black mass (variation of parameters such as leaching temperature, time, liquid/solid ratio)

The Institute for Non-Ferrous Metallurgy and High Purity Materials (INEMET) execute research focused on sustainable and innovative processes. My research was focused on evaluating and comparing the effect of pH on the performance of two types of ion exchange resins for the recovery of indium from leach solution. My responsibilities include planning and execution of ion exchange experiments; and carrying out complexometric titrations to determine indium concentration in the loaded and regenerated samples.

K-UTEC is a research and engineering with expertise in process design, engineering and development for potash, salts, and energy minerals. I worked with a team of researchers/engineers on the extended process design for the production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate from a lithium-containing ore. My responsibilities include: • Practical work in the laboratory and pilot plant on process stages such as leaching, evaporation, crystallization, precipitation, among others

Ariosh ltd delivers Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) services in Nigeria's oil and gas industry. I worked at the Bids and Proposal team of Ariosh, responsible for developing technical and commercial proposals in response to clients' tender requirements. Responsibilities: • Prepare proposal documents in response to Invitation To Tenders (ITT) • Prepare quotations in accordance with the specified requirements and company policies

I worked at the Production department of Alumax responsible for the production of Aluminium composite panels. During this period, my responsibilities include the following: • Production operational master planning to ensure production continuity and minimize plant capacity loss • Production performance tracking and reporting by preparing daily, weekly and monthly reports on the factory's raw materials, products, production time and stoppages • Ensuring the conformance of products to standard specifications

I carried out my six months undergraduate internship at Dangote Cement Plc, Obajana Plant, Nigeria. My responsibilities during the internship include: • Collection of samples (raw mix, clinker, cement) for laboratory analysis • Evaluation of the physical and chemical properties of samples collected • Supporting the Process / Production team to ensure a continuous cement production process and • Performing other duties as delegated by the production supervisor
