BIO
I am an early-career researcher with a background in Environmental and Chemical Engineering, specializing in sustainable waste-to-resource technologies. My research focuses on converting organic waste into circular economy products such as biochar, activated carbon, and digestate, with practical applications in water treatment and land management.
I have gained hands-on experience through major multidisciplinary projects, including Regional Renewable Organics Network I Barwon Water, Centre for Sustainable Bioproducts | Deakin, and Recycling and Clean Energy Commercialisation Hub | REACH. Combining academic rigour with practical insight, I bring a collaborative mindset, positive learning attitude, and passion for applied research to contribute to innovative solutions that advance environmental sustainability and the circular economy. I am committed to using my expertise to support Australia’s transition towards sustainable, resource-efficient systems.
