CONSULTANCY WORKS HANDLED

• Environmental Impact Assessment of Civil Engineering Projects
• Environmental and Energy Audit of Industries
• Design, Performance Evaluation, and Vetting of Water Treatment Plants and STPs
• Beneficial Industrial Waste Management
• Design and Verification pipeline and Sewer Networks

My research covers the

• fundamental investigation needed for sustainable life such as clean water and air and effecrtive waste management
• deeper insight into the applicability of different low cost waste management practices in solving real-time enironmental and social issues, which is much needed in sustainbility foused research
• Develop new theories and equations covering the cost and life cycle analysis that aims to address both the quality and quantity

My recent research interest is on

“human behaviors vs environmental and climate system”

which includes the analysis of human behavior due to environmental/climate change and vice versa. I believe that this research will provide a valid positive input to achieve the above three mentioned bulletins.
