Circular Water & energy Lab.

We investigate sustainable water and wastewater solutions that reduce energy demand, emissions, and chemical consumption. We focus on circular approaches that recover energy and valuable resources from wastes, enabling water treatment to become a platform for net-zero and resource-efficient infrastructure. 

We focus on electrifying water and waste valorization through electrochemical and bioelectrochemical technologies. We develop systems that convert organics and ions into useful outputs—such as electricity, hydrogen, and recoverable chemicals—by precisely controlling reactions with applied potentials and membranes. 

We work at the intersection of environmental engineering, electrochemistry, microbiology, and materials/membrane science. We integrate fundamentals and engineering—reactor design, catalysts/electrodes, microbial metabolism, and process modeling—to translate lab discoveries into scalable water–energy solutions.
