Research
My research focuses on advancing sustainable solutions for environmental and energy challenges through innovative chemical engineering approaches. I develop electrochemical technologies for CO₂ conversion into valuable chemicals and sustainable systems for industrial wastewater treatment using wate bio-derived materials. Utilizing advanced characterization techniques, computational modeling, and process optimization, I work to understand fundamental mechanisms and translate discoveries into scalable, commercially viable solutions. Through collaborations bridging academia and industry, my goal is to create practical technologies that address climate change, resource recovery, and environmental remediation for a more sustainable future.
