Research Interests

My research background is diverse, including drinking water and wastewater treatment. To promote the sustainable development of our society, I am interested in tackling contamination in water and wastewater using multiple approaches, such as membrane technology, biological treatment, ozonation, etc. (CRWRRL's lab space was not usable until fall 2022.)

  • Municipal wastewater treatment and resource recovery;

  • Wastewater treatment and resource recovery in rural and small communities;

  • Livestock wastewater/liquid manure treatment and resource recovery;

  • Industrial wastewater treatment, such as oil & gas industrial wastewater;

  • Landfill leachate management;

  • Drinking water treatment;

  • Novel materials for environmental applications.
