This is Mehedi Hasan, serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology with more than Nine (9) years of academic and research experience in the field of environmental engineering. He has been working to develop a new energy-positive technological approach for wastewater treatment and bioenergy generation using a photo anoxic baffled reactor (PABR) and photobiorector (PBR). This technological approach is a sustainable solution for both energy crisis and wastewater problems in most of the developing countries located in subtropical-tropical regions. As part of his research work, he has already developed a novel low-cost PABR and PBR for domestic wastewater treatment. His current research focuses on microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems; optimization of microalgae cultivation and harvesting techniques; and optimization of biofuels/biocrude production from microalgae via hydrothermal liquefaction process.
The primary objectives of his research are to develop simplistic, sustainable, and low-cost techniques for wastewater treatment and bioenergy (as biofuels) production from wastewater which is suitable for most of the developing countries located in subtropical-tropical regions. Currently, he is working on microalgae-based wastewater treatment through a photo anoxic baffled reactor and photobioreactor to generate bioenergy from wastewater which would serve as a double-edged solution to mitigate both wastewater and energy crisis problems in 911±¬ÁÏ.
