Chemical Engineer

You’re viewing a past speaker’s bio. They are not currently scheduled for the upcoming program.

Ben Sullivan is a Senior Chemical Engineer at Redwood Materials, working across plant performance and capital projects. Before that, he spent several years as a metallurgist at Mount Isa Mines and Prominent Hill mine, where he supported plant operations and conducted pilot plant test work. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical and Metallurgical) and a Bachelor of Science majoring in Chemistry.

He has been fascinated by space since he was a kid and has also been intrigued by the idea of floating cities. After learning about floating city concepts for Venus, he realized that their viability would depend on ISRU from the atmosphere. With his chemical engineering background, this is something that he knew he could contribute to solving. The work presented here is entirely his own and has no relationship to Redwood Materials, Inc.
