Research title: Developing ultrasonically enhanced recycling of photovoltaics

Research summary

Researcher in the field of Chemical Engineering with experience in handling different waste recycling/management projects on both primary and secondary resources (e.g., liquid crystal displays, lithium-ion batteries, and electroplating sludge). Dedicated to advancing sustainable technologies and highly interested in process development, optimization, and driving innovation in chemical processes through cross-disciplinary collaboration to seek out new solutions and achieve a common goal.

Currently, I am working as a part of the EU-Horizon APOLLO Project, which aims to focus on revolutionizing recycling practices for Photovoltaic (PV) waste modules. The APOLLO consortium is made up of 18 partners from 9 countries, covering the entire value chain from material and process innovation to PV manufacturing and recycling.
