Seyedmehdi Sharifian works on the sustainable recovery of critical materials such as rare earth elements, lithium, and graphite from waste and natural sources, using methods like adsorption, leaching, solvent extraction, and membrane separation. A major focus of the recent work is combining life-cycle assessment (evaluating environmental impacts) with techno-economic analysis (assessing cost feasibility) to compare different recycling and extraction technologies. This research is relevant to students interested in resource recovery, waste valorization, and the environmental and economic tradeoffs of clean-energy supply chains.
