Ομιλητές
Everjoy Muchefa Researcher & Process Engineer is a Zimbabwean researcher currently pursuing her Master’s degree at the University of Johannesburg. She is a dedicated researcher and aspiring chemical engineer with a strong focus on lithium beneficiation and sustainable mineral processing. With experience in lithium bio-flotation, phase transformation studies, and energy storage applications, her work actively contributes to advancing environmentally friendly extraction techniques. Currently, she is researching the physio-chemical interactions between spodumene and microorganisms to enhance bio-flotation, exploring innovative approaches to improve lithium recovery. Her work integrates bioengineering, flotation kinetics, and mineral processing innovations, aiming to develop sustainable solutions for the growing battery materials industry. Much of this research has been presented at academic and industry forums, showcasing expertise in process optimization, mineral bio-processing, and metallurgical analysis.
Professor Harmony Musiyarira, a distinguished leader in engineering and academia, currently serves as the Executive Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment at Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST). His extensive expertise, honed during his tenure as the Head of the Department of Mining and Process Engineering and his prior role managing Refractory High-Temperature materials, Earthenware, and Sanitaryware ceramic production plants for a formerly Anglo-American Corporation, instils confidence in his leadership.
Professor Harmony Musiyarira, a visionary leader with a strong reputation, has significantly impacted Namibia's mining sector. His influential engagements with local industries, government institutions, and world-renowned research organisations, such as the Ian Wark Research Institute and the Sustainable Minerals Institute, have been instrumental. He spearheaded the development of the Mineral Beneficiation Strategy, contributed significantly to the Namibian Sector Growth Strategy for Coloured Gemstones, and reviewed Namibia's Mining policy framework, thereby shaping the future of the industry.
Professor Harmony Musiyarira's influence extends beyond his leadership roles. He is a PhD external examiner for prestigious institutions, including the University of Queensland in Australia, the University of Johannesburg, and the University of the Witwatersrand. His academic contributions have been recognised through various accolades, including the Guenter Fettweis Award for his work in shaping discourse on sustainable mining under the Society of Mining Professors.
