Area of expertise: Process intensification (PI), Fabrication of new materials and composites for various applications such as solar cells, nanotechnology, photovoltaic, water treatment and desalination.

 

Research Interests:


My research interest focuses on the development of highly efficient and cost effective techniques for various applications in chemical engineering by adopting a process intensification (PI) approach through the use of techniques such as oscillatory motion, gas sparging, and turbulence promoters (active and inert), and recently ultrasonic vibration, CFD in chemical engineering, and materials engineering are in research. In particular, I am interested in applying different PI approaches in the following areas:

  • Heat and mass transfer in single and two phase flow systems
  • Wastewater treatment and removal of heavy metals by different techniques

  • Electrometallurgical processes (Electrorefining, Electrodeposition, Electrochemical machining etc.)
