Palas Kamlakar Borkar began his journey at Michigan Tech in 2016 by enrolling in the master’s program in chemical engineering, which he completed in 2018. After gaining valuable experience outside academia, he returned in 2021 to pursue a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. His Ph.D. research focuses on developing cost-effective bioleaching methods for manganese recovery from low-grade ores. He has also worked on extracting iron from iron ore tailings using bioleaching and has contributed to battery recycling projects aimed at recovering critical metals such as manganese, nickel and cobalt.

Yuguang Wang's experience at Michigan Tech began in 2013 as an undergraduate student. As an electrical engineering major, Wang quickly discovered a passion for programming and chose computer engineering as a second major. Joining the Human-Computer Interaction Lab as a third-year student began Wang's research journey. Inspired by these undergraduate experiences to continue pursuing research, Wang officially began studying toward a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2018, advised by Zhenlin Wang, and, later, co-advisor Junqiao Qiu.
