Neda is a third year PhD student with the University of York, based at the Natural History Museum, London. Her research revolves around finding microorganisms that can be used in a process known as biomining, the extraction of metals from mine waste and low-grade ore using bacteria. Biomining is a commercially used, sustainable alternative to traditional metal extraction methods and an economically justifiable way to access resources locked up in mine waste. In this talk, Neda will be discussing how biomining combines the mineralogical and biological, along with how her project hopes to improve the biomining process in the presence of arsenic.
