Research Interests

My primary research interests are in membrane separation process and membrane fouling mechanism. My current research mainly focuses on preparing and modifying ceramic membrane to improve its performance in terms of membrane rejection rate and anti-fouling ability, and investigating membrane fouling mechanism in the treatment of wastewater.
