Evody Tshijik Karumb has been working in the metallurgical field since 2012. In 2012, they were a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant at the Kroll Institute of Extractive Metallurgy (KIEM) where they conducted a thorough literature survey to harvest thermochemistry data for binary systems of Pb and impurities typically occurring in a lead bullion and determined binary parameters for binary systems using thermodynamic models for calculating the activity coefficient. Evody also worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant, assisting a PhD graduate student on their work. In 2013, they were a Metallurgical Intern at the Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation PLC, working with the metallurgical team at the COMIDE operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where they used HMS. Evody conducted a laboratory sink/float test on the ore for best use and density of ferrosilicon and a performance test on the HMS separation cyclone. In 2020, they began working at Brimstone as a Senior Metallurgical Engineer, Environment Health & Safety Officer, and Metallurgical Research Engineer. Additionally, they are a KIEM CSM Volunteer at the Colorado School of Mines.
