RecycLiCo, the rapidly evolving and renowned innovation fixture in the world of battery recycling technology, recently brought onboard Dr. Maryam Rasouli as its Principal Engineer. This move signifies the latest development in RecycLiCo’s bid to stay at the forefront, pushing the envelope of recycling technology to transform the environmental narrative. It underlines the corporate vision of implementing cost-effective, closed-loop, and sustainable processes in the recycling of lithium-ion batteries.
Dr. Maryam Rasouli, who holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia, as well as a Master’s degree in Micro and Nano Systems from the University of Tehran, boasts of an illustrious career. She is armed with a wealth of experience spanning the spheres of Semiconductors, Nanotechnology, Material Science, and Lithium-ion batteries. Dr. Rasouli has been a notable contributor to over 12 published articles on semiconductors and nanotechnology. She has also been a recipient of several awards like the prestigious Mitacs Award, which she received in 2020 for her exceptional work in battery technology. Clearly, Dr. Rasouli’s extensive expertise and innovative insight will be great assets to RecycLiCo.
Speaking on the occasion, Larry Reaugh, the President and CEO of RecycLiCo’s parent company, American Manganese Inc., expressed his optimism and excitement about working with Dr. Rasouli. He enthused that her expertise would further empower RecycLiCo in its journey towards offering top-tier cathode material while reducing environmental harm and mitigating supply chain risks.
In her new capacity as the Principal Engineer, Dr. Rasouli will oversee the company’s cutting-edge pilot plant project located in British Columbia. She will spearhead the engineering design process and will guide the testing and implementation of further stages of the advanced pilot plant.
Dr. Rasouli’s appointment is indeed a testament to RecycLiCo’s commitment to innovation and sustainable development. It is a known fact that lithium-ion batteries which power a significant portion of today’s mobile electronic devices are not disposed of in an environmentally sustainable manner. According to RecycLiCo, an estimated 95% of these batteries are incinerated, ending up in landfills, or left in storage. This is where RecycLiCo’s cutting-edge and patented process comes into play. It aims to recycle lithium-ion batteries, extracting valuable cathode metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and aluminum. These can then be reintroduced into the production of new batteries, making for a more eco-friendly and economically efficient circular process.
To this effect, the inclusion of Dr. Rasouli into RecycLiCo’s innovative team significantly strengthens the company’s strategic artillery. It reaffirms their mission to create a forward-thinking, environmentally conscious solution that fully recycles end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, safeguards the environment, and ushers in a new era of sustainable technology.
With this dedicated vision and the amalgamation of Dr. Rasouli’s formidable talent, RecycLiCo is all set to challenge and transform the battery recycling landscape. They aim to contribute to a greener future – not only for the
