Jasmine M. Williams

Jasmine M. Williams is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil, Geological and Mining Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. Her research combines mining engineering, plant and soil ecology, and environmental chemistry to address mine tailings remediation and post-mining ecosystem recovery.

• Education: B.Eng. in Mining Engineering (McGill University), Ph.D. in Forestry Sciences (University of Toronto)

Her work focuses on tree-vegetation-substrate interactions, ecotoxicity and nutrient cycling, and biochar application for industrial site restoration. She prioritizes sustainable solutions for Canadian hard rock mining operations, emphasizing orphaned tailings impoundments.

Key research trends include: biochar compatibility with mine waste, vegetation establishment on degraded substrates, and metal uptake dynamics in restored ecosystems.

Teaching: GML6112 – Mining Environment and Site Restoration; MIN1101 – Introduction to Mining
