Fundamental Microbiology and Virology
- Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria as host) in engineered reactors and natural systems.
- Phage mediated gene spread in natural systems, human gut biome and engineered bioreactors.
Waste Water Treatment and Resource Recovery
- Sludge minimization coupled with nutrient removal
- Developing start up strategies for anaerbic ammonia oxidation- suspended growth and attached growth systems.
- Treatment and nutrient recovery from landfill leachate
