MIWATCH recently welcomed a team of research assistants who are already working across MIWATCH projects ranging from data analytics, lab work to field sampling.
It has been a period of change at MIWATCH with familiar faces coming to the end of their learning journeys and time for projects to start moving from characterisation to extraction, with the aim to work more closely too with other teams across SMI and UQ. The first new member of staff to join ‘MIWATCH 2.0’ is Senior Research Technician Ali Yadollahi.
Research Officer Francesco Colombi in the WH Bryan Mining Geology Research Centre (BRC) reflects on the first months into his postdoctoral career with the Mine Waste Transformation through Characterisation (MIWATCH) group.
Gabriele Baldassarre finishes up his visit to the Sustainable Minerals Institute and shares some final thoughts about his time working with the Mine Waste Transformation through Characterisation (MIWATCH) group.
The inaugural Australian Mine Waste Symposium (AMWS) saw many visitors arrive in Bribane, so it was opportune to host some for a while longer- with Gabriele Baldassarre a PhD student at Politecnico di Torino Italy, here with us for a month!
With 2024 set to be the ‘year of the critical mineral’ the MIWATCH are busier than ever! With a shift in focus from sample collection to waste analysis and delivery of results, it’s time to welcome a new team member – Francesco Colombi!
The inaugural AusIMM Critical Minerals Conference was held in Perth on the 21-23 November 2023, hosting over 700 delegates. Loren Nicholls attended the Conference and gives us her experience of the event.
