Ryan MelsertGUEST
So my background really is in the manufacturing of different types of critical minerals, specifically for the battery space.

Ryan MelsertGUEST
So I worked in a few R&D institutes, really developing fundamental technologies for how to manufacture these types of critical minerals.

Ryan MelsertGUEST
I went to work at Tesla for about four years, was part of the initial team to design and build the first gigafactory in the world outside of Rena.

Ryan MelsertGUEST
Then I went over to the, I formed my own team in the R&D division, the battery material processing group, and really started working with fundamental ways we could make these types of critical minerals and active materials that go inside batteries.

Sherry HinishHOST
Ryan, from the operator and technology side, what does it take to move from collecting battery feedstock to producing materials that industrial buyers can actually evaluate, qualify, and make it real in their supply chains?
