Prof. Courtney Young, Professor at Montana Tech of University of Montana (U.S.A), gives special lectures.(December 2011)
A series of lectures will be given by Prof. Courtney Young, from Montana Tech of the University of Montana, who is invited by ICREMER of Akita University to share information on leading-edge technology and engineering.
Prof. Young is Department Head of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering at Montana Tech of the University of Montana. He has expertise in surface chemistry, electrochemistry and spectroscopy; and also specializes in fields such as mineral processing, extractive metallurgical engineering and recycling technologies. His research to develop an activated carbon adsorption process for extraction of gold from thiosulfate solutions is patented. Dr. Young’s extensive efforts have been honored and awarded by a number of institutions, including SME (Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration) and AIME (American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers).
