My Academic Journey in Civil & Environmental Engineering

I currently serve as a faculty member in Civil Engineering, specializing in sustainable wastewater treatment and low-energy biohydrogen production. In addition to these core areas, my work explores circular bioeconomy solutions that directly address modern environmental challenges. My primary goal is not only to advance environmental sustainability but also to drive academic innovation that effectively bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical application.

My research portfolio focuses extensively on waste-to-energy technologies and resource recovery systems that support a cleaner, greener future. Furthermore, by integrating these real-world engineering challenges into the classroom, I empower students with the practical skills and critical thinking needed for sustainable development. To that end, whether you are a fellow academic or a potential collaborator, I invite you to explore my work so we can together advance resilient engineering solutions.
