Bhaskar Joshi
About
Bhaskar Joshi is currently employed as a Ph.D. researcher at the Department Of Chemical Engineering, NTNU, Norway. He is working on value recovery from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using hydrometallurgy processes like leaching, chemical precipitation etc.
He has a rich industrial R&D experience of 5 years with the technology team of Hindalco Industries Limited, Aditya Birla Group. He has worked on the extraction of metallic values like copper, nickel, gold, silver, cobalt, arsenic, bismuth, antimony, etc. from various liquid and solid streams. He has also worked on phosphogypsum and copper slag purification. He has been part of technology development, pilot demonstration, and commercialization.
He has completed his master's from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, India wherein he worked on developing a mathematical model for heat recovery from blast furnace slag in MATLAB.
