In an era of rising demand for sustainable water solutions, Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) have emerged as a leading technology for water reuse. Yet, one critical challenge remains: biofouling. My research centers on an innovative solution—Quorum Quenching (QQ). By disrupting the bacterial communication pathways that drive biofilm formation, QQ offers a biological approach to fouling control. This not only helps preserve membrane function and prolongs their lifespan but also optimizes the cost-effectiveness of water reuse.

As climate change escalates, marine algal blooms are creating serious hurdles for seawater desalination. My research centers on boosting the sustainability of high-flux ceramic membranes, integrating advanced oxidation and coagulation methods to combat membrane fouling and enhance desalination efficiency. By refining this approach, we aim to establish a sustainable, dependable, and eco-friendly pathway for converting seawater into clean, drinkable water, addressing global water demands and building resilience against climate-driven challenges. 

One of my current research focuses on leveraging Large language models (LLMs), including Gemini-2.5 pro and GPT-4.5, to drive innovation. These models offer transformative applications such as literature synthesis, conditioned text mining, and chemical structure editing. By integrating LLM-based AI across diverse water science adn technology domains, my aim is to accelerate advancements in membrane technologies and sustainable (sea)water treatment solutions.
