Analyzing and interpretation of mineralogical and metallurgical tests Dec 2006 –Dec 2008 Process Mineralogist – Intellection Pty Ltd., Australia A member of technical resources group and operation team on sample preparation, analyzing and consulting projects 2005-2006 Process Engineer- Namvaran Consulting Engineering Co. Techno-economic study of mining and mineral processing projects, Design, flowsheet development and equipment sizing based on conducted analyzing tests for technical bids and projects 2003-2005 Process Mineralogist- Iranian Mineral Processing Research Centre (IMPRC) Process mineralogy and advising customers for further studies and test methods QUALIFICATION & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT January 2010-Dec 2014 PhD Degree of Engineering- The university of Melbourne, Australia A four years research degree, researching improved techniques for gold extraction from complex ores. Complexes involving a wide range of different gold-ligand interaction strengths including chloride, thiourea and thiosulphate are brought into contact with framework (quartz and feldspar) and layer silicates (kaolinite and pyrophyllite). Experimental data are correlated with information obtained from computational chemistry, to identify trends in their tendencies to associate with silicates and provide a fuller understanding of the role of silicates in gold processing. March 2004 Master Degree of Mineral Processing Engineering- Tehran University, Iran A two years course degree, which covered process mineralogy, mass balance calculation, flowsheet design and development, flotation and new technologies in mineral processing. A one-year research project was submitted as a part of degree entitled "Gold extraction form Zarshuran gold mine in Iran". September 2001 Bachelor Degree of Engineering in Mining Engineering- Amir Kabir University, Iran
