CONSULTING & TECHNICAL ADVICEDR JOSHUA RASERA
A sharper question.
A stronger decision.
Independent scientific and engineering input for research proposals, processing challenges and space-resource concepts.
I bring experience in mineral processing, physical separations, space resources and systems thinking. Engagements can range from a focused review to a defined programme of analysis or collaborative technical work.
01 / REVIEWExpert proposal review
A critical technical reading of a research or innovation proposal: the research question, novelty, methodological fit, work plan, risks and clarity of the case.
- Scientific logic and evidence gaps
- Work packages, milestones and technical risk
- Written feedback and a review discussion
Discuss a proposal review ↗02 / SCIENCE & ENGINEERINGTechnical consulting
Support with mineral processing and particulate-system questions, from material behaviour and technology selection to experimental design and model interpretation.
- Dry beneficiation and physical separations
- Material characterisation and test programmes
- Performance diagnostics and flowsheet evaluation
Discuss a technical challenge ↗03 / SPACE RESOURCESMission & concept planning
Early-stage technical support for lunar resource concepts, connecting feed preparation, processing, handling and infrastructure requirements to the wider mission.
- ISRU concept and process-chain review
- Resource, power and operational assumptions
- Architecture comparisons and technology gaps
Discuss a mission concept ↗04 / DECISION SUPPORTSystems & uncertainty
Make assumptions, alternatives and trade-offs visible before committing to a design or deployment strategy.
- Resource value-chain representation
- Scenario and sensitivity analysis
- Staging, flexibility and deployment choices
Discuss a decision ↗05 / COLLABORATIONResearch & development
Help shape research questions, plan experiments, interpret results and connect particle-scale findings with practical processing choices.
- Research scoping and technical roadmaps
- Model and experiment integration
- Technical synthesis and collaborative studies
Explore a collaboration ↗06 / COMMUNICATIONTalks & workshops
Lectures and facilitated discussions on mineral processing, space resources and engineering under uncertainty, tailored to the audience.
- Technical briefings and teaching
- Research and industry workshops
- Public talks and scientific communication
Discuss a session ↗ HOW WE STARTDefine the problem.
Agree the work.
- A short briefTell me the question, intended use, timeframe and kind of support you need.
- A scoped engagementWe agree objectives, deliverables, boundaries and terms before work begins.
- Useful technical outputA review, analysis, workshop or written recommendation matched to the brief.
