Research
My research moves across scales: engineering flow through a microchannel, controlling fouling inside a membrane reactor, and assessing the environmental performance of treatment systems.
01 · Current doctoral research
Development of spiral inertial microfluidic techniques using 3D printing for bacteria separation and detection technologies.
At the Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS), I am developing microfluidic platforms intended to support faster, near-real-time information about water microbiology and quality.
Industry-linked research supported through Australian Research Council project LP210100343 ↗ and Syrinx Environmental Pty Ltd.
Research themes
Designing and evaluating fluidized-bed and electrochemical membrane systems to reduce fouling and improve greywater treatment.
Investigating nature-based wastewater treatment and comparing environmental impacts across constructed-wetland designs.
Using spatial analysis, laboratory studies and environmental datasets to understand water pollution and urban environmental change.
Research trajectory
Water quality, wetlands, toxicity, LCA and GIS in Bangladesh.
Greywater treatment and membrane-fouling control in Korea.
3D-printed devices for bacteria separation and detection in Australia.
