Head Chemical Analyst

My name is Anastasia Pilichou, and I hold a degree in Mining and Metallurgical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, which I completed in 2018. Furthermore, I obtained a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Nicosia in 2021. I have been actively engaged with the Technologies for Sustainable Metallurgy (Tesmet) group since 2018. Initially, I held the position of Researcher on various hydrometallurgical European funded projects. In 2021, I advanced to the position of Head Chemical Analyst, where I am responsible for analytical operations, developing new analytical methods, and ensuring quality control of these methods. I am proficient in operating several analytical instruments, including Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP OES), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS).

I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to be a member of the TESMET group. Throughout my time with this team, I have honed my engineering, computational, and communication skills. The group’s vision centers on leveraging innovative metallurgical processes to address contemporary industrial challenges, aligning seamlessly with my commitment to promoting a more sustainable future in the raw materials sector.
