Pablo Brito Parada

Dr. Pablo Brito Parada is a Professor in Sustainable Minerals Processing at Imperial College London's Department of Earth Science & Engineering, part of the Faculty of Engineering. He leads the Advanced Mineral Processing Research Group and is affiliated with the Energy Futures Lab, Grantham Institute, and Applied Modelling and Computation Group. His research focuses on mineral resources sustainability, integrating computational modeling (e.g., PEPT, CFD) with industrial collaboration to address challenges in froth flotation, resource management, and the material-energy nexus.

Key research areas include:

• Optimization of flotation processes using novel experimental techniques and numerical models
• Development of frameworks for sustainable mineral resource management
• Material flow analysis for policy-informed decision-making
• Hydrodynamics of multiphase systems and equipment design
• Risk assessment in mining rehabilitation and supply chain management

He has led major projects such as the EU-funded FineFuture (enhancing fine particle flotation) and PRODIAS (industrial biotechnology cost reduction). His work emphasizes low-impact processing solutions, including water/energy efficiency and modular mining technologies. Recent studies include AI-driven remote sensing applications for coastal analysis and Bayesian approaches for material flow modeling.

Awards and recognitions are not explicitly listed in the provided text. His research outputs span over 100 publications, with recent emphasis on computational methods, decision support systems, and sustainable resource strategies. Collaboration with industry partners ensures practical implementation of his innovations.
