I am a Chemical and Environmental Engineer with a PhD in Chemical Engineering (Environmental Engineering) from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), Malaysia. My research and professional interests focus on sustainable materials, environmental remediation, wastewater treatment, biomass valorization, and emerging environmental technologies. My research experience includes the development and application of geopolymers, geopolymer/MXene nanocomposites, adsorbents, photocatalysts, biochar, nanomaterials, and membrane-based systems for water and wastewater treatment. I am also interested in biomass thermochemical conversion, pyrolysis, biochar production, and the development of sustainable materials from industrial and agricultural wastes. I have over 40 peer-reviewed publications and experience in research project development, grant proposal preparation, student mentoring, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I have also contributed as an academic editor and peer reviewer for international journals. My professional mission is to advance innovative and practical research that addresses environmental challenges while supporting resource recovery, circular economy principles, and sustainable development. I am particularly interested in collaborative research that bridges fundamental science with real-world environmental applications.
