PhD

My research focuses on the intersection of environmental biotechnology, polar and marine sciences, and sustainability. A significant area of my work involves studying bacteriophages in extreme environments, including polar regions and marine ecosystems, to explore their potential applications in mitigating antibiotic-resistant bacteria and enhancing bioprocesses. This includes research on the synergistic effects of bacteriophages and natural antimicrobials, such as essential oils, on pathogenic microorganisms in marine and terrestrial settings.

I also investigate the impact of microplastics on marine ecosystems and aim to develop sustainable bioplastics with antimicrobial properties to reduce microplastic pollution. These bioplastics, which are designed to degrade within six months, offer an innovative solution to improving ocean health and addressing global environmental challenges.

Additionally, I contribute to waste-to-energy technologies and water treatment systems, such as membrane capacitive deionization, to provide sustainable solutions for water management. My research aligns with global efforts to address climate change, reduce pollution in marine environments, and promote circular economy principles for a sustainable future.
