FUNDED RESEARCH

I am an environmental engineer and a membrane technologist. My research expertise covers a range of membrane separation processes (including pressure driven membrane filtration, forward osmosis, membrane distillation, facilitated transport membrane, membrane electrolysis, and membrane bioreactor), anaerobic digestion, molecular biology, and urban water management. My current research work focuses on the development of a membrane separation platform for the recovery of clean water, energy, and nutrients from wastewater.
