About
I am an algal biotechnology researcher specializing in microalgae-based systems for wastewater treatment, resource recovery, and carbon sequestration. My work focuses on developing sustainable and scalable solutions that integrate environmental remediation with biomass valorization, contributing to the circular bioeconomy and climate resilience. With international research experience, I have contributed to advancing microalgal biotechnology for nutrient removal, bioenergy production, and CO₂ capture. My research combines experimental and process-based approaches to address challenges in the water–energy–environment nexus. I am particularly interested in translating laboratory research into pilot-scale and industrial applications that support sustainable infrastructure and low-carbon technologies.
I welcome collaborations in:
Sustainable wastewater treatment
Bioenergy and biorefinery systems
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU)
Circular economy solutions
Algae biomass product development
