معرفی
Timothy C. Eisele is an Associate Professor and Chemical Engineering Endowed Faculty Fellow at Michigan Technological University (MTU), serving as Co-Director of Graduate Programs in Chemical Engineering. He earned all three of his degrees (BS, MS, and PhD) in Metallurgical Engineering from MTU. His research focuses on particulate processing, metals extraction, and sustainable raw material production, with emphasis on advancing physical separation techniques and bioleaching technologies to enhance resource recovery and reduce industrial waste.
Education:
- PhD in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, MTU
- MS in Metallurgical Engineering, MTU
