Collaboration for Ecosystem Sustainability
We aim to develop 'Integrated Chemical and Ecological Solutions' to sustain and restore the functions and resilience of ecological systems under environmental stress.
By combining environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology, and microbial ecology, we investigate 'how stressors affect system dynamics', and 'how anaerobic treatment, bioremediation, and ecological monitoring can support long-term ecosystem health and biogeochemical stability'.
Our research focuses on discovering and applying microbial and chemical agents for the degradation of emerging pollutants, designing anaerobic digestion systems using diverse waste substrates, and developing microbial genotypic- and phenotypic-indicators for monitoring ecosystem sustainability.
Environmental & Ecological System Laboratory (EESL)
Environmental & Ecological System Laboratory (EESL)
We investigate the environmental fate, toxicity, and management of emerging pollutants across soil, water, and sediment systems.
Our research integrates environmental chemistry, toxicology, and ecological risk assessment to understand the interactions between contaminants and biological systems, including microbes, plants, and invertebrates.
Our work addresses sustainability challenges by linking contaminant behavior with ecosystem responses, contributing to ecologically sound management and restoration practices.

Microbial Systems Ecology Laboratory (MSE)
Microbial Systems Ecology Laboratory (MSE)
We investigate the structure, function, and dynamics of microbial communities across scales—from single-cell traits to ecosystem-level processes.
We combine high-resolution omics data, phenotypic profiling, and AI-driven modeling to understand and predict microbial contributions to environmental health, biogeochemical cycles, and host-associated systems.
Our research addresses global challenges such as climate change and emerging pollutants by uncovering microbial mechanisms of resilience, adaptation, and biotransformation across environmental media.
