A water/wastewater research engineer with a PhD in Engineering & Applied Science, MS in Environmental Engineering, and BS in Chemical Engineering (Class Valedictorian), holding a Professional Engineer (PE) license.
Since 2015, they have served as an Assistant and Adjunct Professor at the University of New Orleans, teaching courses on water/wastewater treatment design, fluid mechanics, and environmental engineering. They supervise student research, design lab experiments, and have set up a $150k environmental engineering research lab. Their research focuses on advanced treatment technologies—including photocatalysis, electrocoagulation, and nanobubble applications—for disinfection, oil/grease/heavy metal removal, and hydrocarbon oxidation.
With industry experience as a Senior Application Development Engineer (Moleaer Inc.) and Process Engineer (PDVSA), they specialize in experimental design, computational modeling, and process optimization. They have authored peer-reviewed papers, presented at engineering conferences, and are members of the Water Environment Federation and American Academy of Environmental Engineers & Scientists.
