I am an environmental engineer with a passion for sustainability. This passion walks me through a long adventurous journey from studying the environmental aspects of mining operations and wastewater treatment to working in the field of environmental nanotechnology. During my B.Sc., M.Sc., and first Ph.D. I was working on the idea of using low-cost minerals and reusing mine wastes as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment which had promising results and was published in several journals and made me get a scholarship to go to Italy as a visiting scholar. I used that opportunity to join a civil and environmental engineering department to fulfill my potential in a more related discipline. The experience that I gained there, bolsters my passion to study a second Ph.D. in the field of environmental nanotechnology which ended up in working on developing and improving the engineered nanomaterials extraction techniques from biological tissues under the supervision of Dr. Evan Gray at TTU.
