College of Sciences

I am a Ph.D. researcher at Adelaide University, with advanced academic qualifications and two Master's degrees from Iran and the UK, focusing on different methods of advanced water and wastewater treatment. My research focuses on innovative water treatment technologies, including Activated Carbon Adsorption, Electrocoagulation, and Nano-filtration Membranes, with a focus on PFAS treatment and sustainability.
 
I have contributed to developing efficient, environmentally sustainable solutions for water purification. I possess hands-on experience in experimental research, membrane fabrication, and characterization techniques. I am passionate about advancing water treatment methods, collaborating on projects that promote access to clean water and environmental sustainability!
