MEI Consultant Markus Reuter’s Aalto appointment

It was good to hear that Outotec's expert in recycling and sustainable technologies, Professor Markus Reuter has been appointed Adjunct Professor at Aalto University, Finland (full story on MEI Online).

He may not remember, but I was external examiner for his PhD thesis at the University of Stellenbosch back in 1991. Markus has been a long-standing member of the Minerals Engineering editorial board, and is MEI Consultant to the Sustainability through Mineral Resource Conservation and Recycling (SRCR) series of conferences.

After academic posts at Stellenbosch, Delft and Melbourne Universities, he moved into industry and is now Outotec’s Director for Technology Management as well as being Professorial Fellow of Sustainable Technology at the University of Melbourne.

It is always a pleasure to work with Markus, and we at MEI look forward to seeing him in Falmouth again in 2014 for SRCR ’14, which this time has the added bonus of running back to back with Biohydromet ’14.
