Chris Baxter

Chris Baxter is a Senior R&D Engineer at RheEnergise, where they have been contributing to effective and creative technological solutions for today's challenges in the Energy, Mining, and Environmental industry sectors. Chris's primary focus is on the application of process modelling and Techno-Economic Analysis tools to support R&D. Ongoing areas of special interest include recycling end-of-life lithium ion batteries, and understanding the impact of ore heterogeneity on mineral processing flowsheets.

Chris has a background in Chemical Engineering, which they put to use during their previous positions at the National Research Council Canada / Conseil national de recherches Canada and Hatch. At the National Research Council Canada / Conseil national de recherches Canada, Chris was responsible for contributing to technological solutions in the Energy, Mining, and Environmental industry sectors. Chris's focus on process modelling and Techno-Economic Analysis helped support R&D in these areas. Some of their ongoing areas of interest include recycling end-of-life lithium ion batteries, and understanding the impact of ore heterogeneity on mineral processing flowsheets.

At Hatch, Chris worked as a Chemical Summer Student (Co-op), where they developed process models for a fluidized bed concentrate roaster and a soda ash production plant via the monohydrate process. Chris also compiled work packages for modelling work, which included a background on existing processes and technical considerations, the process design basis, a work summary and scope report, and the simulation

Chris Baxter completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) in Chemical Engineering at the University of Ottawa. Chris also attended St. Peter Catholic High School.
