About Lukas F.
I connect data-driven insights and strategic thinking to advance decision-making around critical minerals that underpin energy security and defense. With a PhD in Mining Engineering, my recent work has focused on leading research into hydrometallurgical recovery methods, aiming to extract strategic elements from by-product streams. At Rio Tinto, I’ve moved beyond technical roles into evaluating market potential, economic feasibility, and strategic positioning for emerging products. I enjoy working collaboratively and across disciplines, learn quickly, and prefer roles where I’m trusted to operate independently and make clear decisions, even when the situation is complex or evolving. I’m always open to conversations around critical minerals, defense technology, or innovative approaches to resource resilience. Let’s connect!
