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.

Today, I celebrate someone very special, a person whose presence has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. Meeting you was truly a turning point, and your impact remains deeply felt in ways words can hardly describe. You’ve been more than just a supporter; you’ve been a guide, a motivator, and a constant reminder that hard work and sincerity always pay off. Your belief in me, especially during my academic journey, gave me strength in moments I needed it most. You’ve encouraged me to aim higher, to stay consistent, and to never give up on my dreams. For that, I remain sincerely grateful. You’ve always rooted for my success like it was your own, and your selflessness continues to inspire me. Every conversation we’ve shared, every moment of guidance, and every act of kindness have all left lasting impressions on my heart. I truly cherish those times, and even though distance and responsibilities have kept us apart, the respect and appreciation remain as strong as ever. As you continue your pursuit of excellence in your academics journey, I pray that Allah (SWT) grants you ease, wisdom, and endless success in all your endeavors. May He continue to elevate you in knowledge, strengthen your faith, and make you a source of goodness wherever you go. Thank you for being an incredible influence and for always showing genuine care and support. You deserve all the happiness, peace, and blessings this new year brings. Happy Birthday once again💕💕 May Allah crown your efforts with success and barakah always, Aameen 🤲
