This research investigates carbonatite rocks to understand how critical minerals like rare earth elements form and concentrate. Using radiometric dating and high-resolution imaging, it reconstructs their geological history. This enables more precise exploration, helping Canada locate vital resources needed for clean energy technologies and modern infrastructure while reducing reliance on guesswork.

My research develops green membrane technologies to extract and recycle lithium sustainably. By selectively filtering lithium ions from complex mixtures without heavy chemical or energy inputs, these membranes offer an alternative to current waste-intensive methods. The goal is to make the lithium supply chain as clean and sustainable as the renewable future it supports.
