Research interests

Studying and developing new technologies for ưastewater treatment based on photo-oxidation processes (H2O2/UV, O3-plasma/UV), Photocatalysis (Preparation and characterization of nano-catalyst for effluent treatment in textile industries or remove of pharmaceutical residues in aquatic compartment by advanced oxidation processes, Photo-Fenton,…)are my main research direction. In addition, my colleagues and I are now focusing on developing analytical methods using LC-MSMS to determine the amount of pesticides in soil, sediment and water, pharmaceutical residues in wastewater in general and urine in particular.
