About

As a membrane and brine mining expert with 12+ years of experience in membrane synthesis, module development, desalination, and pilot-scale process design. My work focuses on hollow fiber and spiral wound membrane development, SWRO/BWRO process design, nanofiltration-based brine mining, membrane brine concentrator systems for Desalination & industrial wastewater treatment.

I have led projects on seawater brine valorization, including NaCl extraction, bromine extraction and magnesium recovery. I have translated lab-scale membrane technologies into pilot-scale spiral wound and hollow fiber modules. I also supports start-up companies in membrane development, pilot testing, technology scale-up, and brine mining process design, including membrane-focused companies such as SMI Membrane and emerging brine mining ventures. I also supports to the brine mining from seawater companies.
