Reem Roufail, PEng

• Precious metal and material reclamation

• Material selection\/substitution for design

• Advanced Manufacturing

• Smart material (memory alloys and polymers)

• Design for energy efficiency (heavy industry as comminution in mining)

• Renewable energy

My research interest is in the field of design and innovation to reduce footprint with a focus on material selection and design improvement. Design that utilizes innovative advanced manufacturing and comprehensive understanding of material life cycle should be the way forward. My research focuses on understanding current technologies in heavy industries as comminution in mining and working on enhancing or discovering novel approaches.
