I co-lead theme area 3 and am Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Leicester. My research focus is on ‘green chemistry’, particularly electrochemical processes and developing novel processes using ionic liquids.

As a geomicrobiologist at the BGS my research includes investigating the role of microorganisms in the mobilisation and precipitation of rare earth elements and other more minor elements. My research also involves the effect on microbial when the subsurface is disturbed.

I am an economic geologist with the BGS alongside researching for a PhD at CSM on understanding the thermal and fluid history of the antimony and tungsten-bismuth deposits of south-west England.

I am research fellow at the University of Birmingham, where I was previously the Energy Development Manager. I work in Theme 3 developming recycling processes for battery/magnet materials.

I am a Material Flow Research Analyst at the British Geological Survey, working in Theme 1 to develop material flow models for a range of technology metals. My research interests include industrial ecology and sustainable resource management, particularly using material flow analysis to identify potential pathways towards a circular economy.

I am a minerals geoscientist at the British Geological Survey. My research interests include geochemistry and geology of ore deposits for critical raw materials, mineral processing, and geochemical modelling.

I am the Manager of the Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements & Critical Materials, looking at industrial partners and contracts. My experience covers a wide range of project management activity from finance and contracts, through to strategy, reputation and research information.

My research in Met4Tech is focussing on developing circular economy geomodels for technology metals. I have a background in geochemistry, mineralogy, critical metals, and mineral deposit geology.

As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Exeter my research focuses on developing an Agent-Based Model of a technology metals circular economy in the UK.

I am Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Leicester. My research interests include electrochemical deposition and dissolution processes, surface and interfacial structure.

I’m an Associate Professor in Applied and Environmental Geology at the University of Leicester. My interests are in copper and gold ore deposits and their associated technology metals.

As the Principal Investigator I have the pleasure of leading the project to make sure we deliver our aims. I have a geological background and have increasingly enjoyed interdisciplinary research since joining CSM.

My role as Project Coordinator involves planning and monitoring project activities, running the website and the support of events involving various stakeholders. My background is in journalism, communications and marketing.

I am a research fellow at Birmingham Law School, where my research focuses on the regulatory and other legal structures necessary to construct an effective circular economy. 

I co-lead Theme Area 4 and the Responsible Innovation/Social Science cross-cutting action. I am Professor of Innovation & Sustainability and SCI Director at the University of Manchester.

I am Professor of Sustainable Polymer Chemistry and lead the Dove Research Group at the University of Birmingham. My research focuses on polymer degradation and sustainability of polymer science.

My research focus in Met4Tech is Life-cycle Assessment (LCA). I have previously worked on assessing the carbon footprint of anaesthetics using LCA, and have a PhD in economics from the University of Southhampton.

I am a Professor of Business Analytics at Aston University and I co-lead Theme Area 4. I aim to overcome supply chain decision making challenges by developing operations research and statistical models.

I am Chair and Professor of Energy Materials at the University of Birmingham. The reuse and manufacture of existing battery technologies are research interests of mine, along with novel battery technology.

I am emeritus Professor at the University of Birmingham Law School. My research is focused on environmental law and I have advised/worked for the UK government and Parliament, and the EU Parliament and Commission.

I am a PDRA at the University of Manchester. My PhD research was focussed on a theoretically grounded understanding of the evolution of CE concept and the practices associated with it. As a PDRA in this project I aim to provide a social science perspective to achieve a tech metals CE system.

I am a senior mineral commodity geologist in the British Geological Survey. My research interests include tracking material flows and understanding the value chains of mineral commodities, mineral waste utilisation, and the circular economy.

As a Sustainable Resource Management Specialist at the BGS, my research focused on recycling waste electronics (e-waste), material flow analysis, life cycle analysis, and sustainable mineral supply chain in the UK and beyond.

With a background in environmental consultancy and technical services my passion is resource efficiency through the circular economy. I am involved in delivering the Met4Tech interactive museum exhibit and open online course.

My Master of Chemistry focused on sensitised titanium dioxide nanoarchitectures for photovoltaics.

I am Professor of Critical and Magnetic Materials, and Co-Director of the Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials, at the University of Birmingham. In this project I co-lead Theme 3.

I am responsible for the Environment & Sustainability action, which will be assessed using Life Cycle Assessment. My aim is to help governments/industry/the public make informed decisions about environmental sustainability.
