Thomas Aiglsperger

Thomas Aiglsperger is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, specializing in Applied Geochemistry within the Geosciences and Environmental Engineering division. His research focuses on environmental geochemistry, mineralogy, and mine waste management, with particular expertise in critical metals and hydrogeochemical processes.

Dr. Aiglsperger's research interests encompass Applied Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Environmental Geochemistry, Mine Waste Management, Critical Metals, Hydrogeochemistry, Ore Deposit Genesis, and Environmental Impact Assessment. His work bridges fundamental geochemical processes with practical environmental applications, particularly in mining contexts.

His recent publications demonstrate significant contributions to understanding mineralization processes, critical metal enrichment, mine waste behavior, and environmental impacts of mining operations. The articles reveal a strong focus on practical environmental solutions while advancing fundamental knowledge in geochemistry and mineralogy. His research spans global locations including Peru, Sweden, Chile, and the Dominican Republic, addressing both scientific and environmental management challenges.

Dr. Aiglsperger serves as a supervisor for doctoral research, including Vimbainashe L. Dzimbanhete's thesis on uranium sources and mobility at an iron ore mine site in Northern Sweden. His collaborative work extends across multiple international institutions and research groups.
