ABOUT FERNANDO SITORUS

A highly diverse mineral processing engineer with over seven years of experience in the mining industry as Plant Metallurgist and Project Metallurgist Engineer in nickel and bauxite processing plant projects, and over two years of experience in research institutions as Researcher in coal washing and iron sand separation projects. Have an excellent mathematical and data analysis background as well as adept at computational programming. I am currently doing research on the development of several Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods with applications in mining and mineral processing with a focus on the selection of the most suitable equipment and renewable energy system. I am also interested in simulation-based process optimisation using multi-objective evolutionary algorithms. Proactively involved in EIT RawMaterials, which is the world\'s largest innovation community in the raw materials sector, through a series of summer schools, knowledge sharing sessions and technical talks. In addition, I have been actively promoting the application of multiple criteria decision-making method in mining and mineral processing through a series of publications at several reputable journals, and conferences. Specialities: extractive metallurgist engineering, mineral processing plant flow sheet development, acid mine drainage treatment, red mud treatment, laboratory test work, project management, operations research, multiple criteria decision making, and training program implementation.
