Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on environmental engineering and materials science topics, including water and wastewater treatment methods (such as catalytic oxidation, adsorption, and advanced oxidation processes to remove pollutants like pharmaceuticals and heavy metals), recovery of metals from waste streams, and some studies on metal alloys, welding, and offshore structural engineering. The work spans laboratory-scale pollutant removal chemistry as well as materials characterization and structural fatigue analysis. This breadth suggests interests bridging environmental remediation technology and industrial/materials engineering.
