AMPEL Founder Keith Brimacombe Elected to the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame

Professor Keith Brimacombe was a teacher and leader who advocated university-industry partnerships and interdisciplinary research.  His efforts had a profound impact on metallurgical engineering, and through his career he carried a vision of a multidisciplinary facility for “processing that cuts across the entire spectrum of metals and materials‘ and ‘tools of process engineering that will be applied uniformly for process knowledge, optimization and control.”  That vision was realized with the opening of the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory (AMPEL ) in 1995.

Thanks to the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame for recognizing Keith Brimacombe’s legacy, a continued source of inspiration for AMPEL.
