COLLABORATION

I am looking forward for research collaboration for all type of field. I am open for discussion of a new and existing research.

Currently, I am searching for collaboration in
1. Full scale biogranulation study (wastewater treatment) 2. MICP and EICP application (heavy metals & concrete material) 

If you are interested in collaboration for research
Please contact me through whatsapp or email
