Our goal is to remove contaminants, recover resources, and support sustainable water management.
Research Focus
- Membrane technologies for efficient separation and purification
- Photocatalysis and sonochemistry for chemical-free pollutant degradation
- Advanced materials for selective filtration and contaminant removal
- Biological and chemical treatment processes for sludge stabilization and reuse
- Resource recovery from treated sludge and wastewater, including energy and nutrient extraction
Our research combines expertise in chemical engineering, environmental science, and materials technology to develop scalable and sustainable solutions.
Facilities and Capabilities
- Pilot-scale membrane and sludge treatment setups
- Analytical labs for water and sludge characterization
- Facilities for testing photocatalytic and sonochemical processes
- Collaboration with utilities and industry partners
