His background is in<strong>&nbsp;mineral processing<\/strong>, and his current research focuses on <strong>advanced microwave-assisted methods in metallurgy<\/strong>, aiming to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in metal extraction and processing. Through his work, he seeks to develop practical solutions for industrial applications that contribute to cleaner and more efficient technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alireza holds both an MSc and a BSc in <strong>Mining Engineering<\/strong>&nbsp;from Isfahan University of Technology with a specialization in <strong>Mineral Processing<\/strong>, where he graduated with a strong academic record. His master&#8217;s research included the <strong>magnetic beneficiation of low-grade iron ores<\/strong>&nbsp;in Central Iran, exploring methods to improve ore processing efficiency. He also contributed to projects focused on the<strong>&nbsp;removal of impurities from Gilsonite<\/strong>, <strong>leaching copper from printed circuit boards<\/strong>&nbsp;using environmentally friendly techniques, and assisting with an <strong>Air-Assisted Solvent Extraction<\/strong>&nbsp;project for dilute copper solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to his academic background, Alireza has industrial experience overseeing the production of advanced ceramics and coatings using the <strong>Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis (SHS)<\/strong>&nbsp;method, including both densification and powder manufacturing. He also serves as a Quality Control Supervisor at a steel heat-treating company. His hands-on experience extends to 3D model design, CNC machining, laser cutting, and laboratory-scale beneficiation processes. Alireza is committed to contributing to sustainable practices in mineral processing and metallurgy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1054,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Alireza","cu_people_last_name":"Kholghi","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[24],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-1053","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-ph-d-students"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"","cu_people_degree":"M.Sc.
