Water treatment, membrane filtration design, groundwater remediation

I study water treatment using membrane-based technology with the goal to understand the filtration mechanism and to improve membrane properties by adding nano-filler. My research also focuses on the use of Zero Valent Iron for in-situ groundwater remediation.
