About

Environmental Microbiologist & Water Quality Specialist
With over 6 years of experience, I specialize in environmental microbiology, wastewater treatment, and bioremediation, with a strong focus on groundwater quality assessment and wetland restoration. My work integrates advanced analytical chemistry techniques to evaluate environmental contaminants and microbial interactions for sustainable remediation. I have hands-on expertise in treating complex industrial effluents, monitoring microbial dynamics, and assessing ecological health across aquatic systems.
