Research Interests:

At the core of our research lies the exploration of diverse biomass and waste materials. Our mission is simple yet profound: to convert these resources into value-added materials that enhance the environment and pave the way for a sustainable future. Our present focus is on groundbreaking water treatment methods driven by modified waste materials. By refining these materials, we unlock their potential to revolutionize our approach to environmental challenges. Central to our innovation are techniques such as adsorption, electrosorption, and advanced oxidation processes, empowering us to tackle water quality issues, including emerging contaminants.
