Research interests
I am interested in working with nature‑based solutions for wastewater treatment, with a particular focus on plants and plant-based bioassays used to assess the effects of different wastewater types. In my PhD research, I investigate how native plants respond to irrigation with various greywater sources and explore their potential applications in green wall biofilter systems.
