Short bio
Research Interests are wastewater treatment, environmental management, eco toxicology, in vitro bioassay determination of effluents. Significantly, I am actively involved in environmental research and sustainable development of water wastewater treatment design by using Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), water quality monitoring, and management. Moreover, I have published 5 research and 2 review articles in high-impact factor international journals, having cumulative impact factor of 37.18. Furthermore, I have published one book chapter in the international book “Sustainable Management of Environmental Contaminants”. These all achievements facilitated me to urge more confidence for gaining value-addition to her professional career. Hence, I enrolled in PhD in order to remove, detect, and determine pharmaceuticals from wastewater by sustainable and effective approaches.

Position
PhD candidate

Project Title
Detection, Removal, and in-vitro Bioassay Determination of Pharmaceuticals from Wastewater

Supervisors
Prof Frederic Leusch, Prof Prasad Kaparaju, and Mr Duncan Middleton
