As a materials designer, I engineer advanced functional materials for energy and environmental applications, with particular emphasis on water treatment technologies. I design and synthesize nanocomposite membranes that address critical challenges in biofouling, antibacterial functionality, and separation performance for forward osmosis, nanofiltration, and desalination. My work integrates sustainable materials design principles with practical solutions for wastewater treatment, PFAS removal, environmental microbiology, energy storage, and resource recovery.
