About

My research revolves around the nexus of bioenergy and sustainable development goals. I am primarily interested in biogas and biomethane production, biogas upgradation, and the potential of algae as bioenergy sources. Concurrently, I am dedicated to addressing environmental issues, particularly soil heavy metal and water pollution. These research areas contribute to a comprehensive approach to environmental sustainability and cleaner energy solutions.
