Research Associate | Faculty of Engineering | Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Department, Western University

I hold a PhD degree in chemical and biochemical engineering from Western University, Canada. My research focused on photocatalysis for water decontamination and clean energy production such as hydrogen. I am currently an Research Associate working in a consultant capacity in industrial wastewater processes for the Oil & Gas industry. I am also leading a project with the agro-food industry in the reduction of food/agricultural waste of greenhouse farms by producing energy and electricity with a method known as biomass gasification.
