I hold a M.Eng in chemical engineering and I`m currently the process manager at Gravitas Minerals where I continue to live out my passion for minerals processing, R&D and people. I love to look at minerals differently. Seeing the potential in fine and ultra fine minerals such as coal, chrome, iron ore, manganese and ferrous metals. I enjoy seeing the "impossible" coming to life and making an impact in the fines minerals beneficiation space.
