Research Focus
Microbial pollution; Animal Waste Managment; Pathogen Fate & Transport; River Water Quality; Geographic Information System; Anaytical Chemistry; Microbiology; Anaerobic and Aerobic Treatment Processes; Microwave Technology; Ozonation Technology; Animal Carcasses Management and Rendering; Biomethane and Solar Energy; Residues of Antibiotic, Pesticides, and Herbicides; Biosecurity; Elemental Analysis; Near Infrared spectroscopy; Gas and Liquid Chromatography; Mass Spectrometry.
Specialty Focus
My research is focused on analysis, and designing of engineering solutions for controlling contamination in environment, and reducing risks to public health, agricultural crops, animal and environmental health. My approach is to utilize lab and field scale experiments to understand the fundamental principles underlying these problems, and find both physical and computational insights and interpretations to develop modern technology for finding the solutions.
