Vision :

Our research group aspires to become a regional and global leader in the field of water treatment research. We envision a future where:

  • Every individual has access to safe, affordable, and reliable water, regardless of geographic or socio- economic barriers.
  • Cutting-edge research drives policy and infrastructure development in water and wastewater management.
  • Our discoveries lead to breakthrough solutions that address emerging contaminants, climate change impacts, water scarcity, and aging water infrastructure.
  • We foster a dynamic research environment that attracts top talent and encourages creative problem- solving and interdisciplinary collaboration.
  • Our group influences both local and global communities by promoting resilient, inclusive, and sustainable water systems.

Mission :

Our mission is to conduct cutting-edge research that addresses critical challenges in water quality, purification, and sustainability. We aim to develop and optimize innovative, affordable, and scalable water treatment technologies, ranging from conventional processes to advanced methods such as membrane filtration, adsorption, biological treatment, and nanotechnology. Through a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration, environmental stewardship, and scientific excellence, we seek to:

  • Ensure access to safe and clean water for diverse populations, including marginalized and underserved communities.
  • Mitigate environmental impacts associated with wastewater and industrial effluents.
  • Partner with industry, government, and non-governmental organizations to translate research into real-world applications.
  • Promote sustainable water management practices that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
