What I'm looking for

I seek roles addressing water and wastewater challenges in research or applied projects, with opportunities for technical leadership, sustainability impact, and collaboration in multidisciplinary teams.

I am a civil and environmental engineer with a strong research background in water and wastewater treatment, water quality analysis, and environmental management. I hold a PhD in Civil Engineering (Environmental Engineering) and advanced training in data science for health and climate impact.

Over five years I have led applied research projects, including an integrated ozonation–anaerobic wastewater treatment system and an ANN-based model for dispersion coefficient estimation with 93% accuracy. My work has produced multiple peer-reviewed publications in SCI and Scopus journals and a book chapter on sustainable construction materials.

I have practical experience in water modeling, WaterGEMS and SewerGEMS, AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, MATLAB, and environmental impact assessment, and have delivered 100+ lectures as a guest assistant professor. I have also worked on industrial groundwater contamination analysis and design projects for infrastructure.

I am committed to delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions and process improvements in water and wastewater systems, combining technical rigor with effective communication and teamwork to support organizational goals.
