I am a Chemistry lecturer at Ƶ, specializing in water treatment, desalination, and environmental monitoring. I obtained my PhD in Chemistry from Ƶ, developing a bubble column reactor for enhanced water sterilization. My research bridges academia and industry, supported by several patents and grants, and is dedicated to practical environmental solutions. Previously, I worked in Spain as a chemical engineer, designing wastewater treatment plants and landfills.

My research activities focus on innovative water treatment and desalination methods, environmental monitoring, and the improvement of technologies such as bubble columns, ion-exchange resins, and electrochemical sensors. I have contributed to the design and improvement of systems for water sterilization and pollutant detection, with my work bridging the gap between academia and industry. This includes practical applications like regenerating ion exchange resins, enhancing bubble column reactors for water sterilisation and desalination, and utilizing AI-driven electrochemical sensors for environmental monitoringthrough the IoT devices.
