Kimiya Yousefi
Kimiya's research is centered on water and wastewater treatment, with a focus on ecological engineering technologies like hybrid constructed wetlands. She is currently exploring the integration of organic materials with innovative remediation techniques to enhance wastewater treatment efficiency and surpass conventional methods. Her goal is to develop sustainable and effective solutions to address critical environmental challenges in water management.
Additionally, she have experience in the biodegradation of hydrocarbons using organic amendments, which has influenced my approach to environmental remediation. She has also investigated techniques for treating microplastics in various environments, responding to the increasing concerns about their impact on ecosystems. Kimiya is keen to advance research into emerging contaminants such as PFAS, aiming to refine treatment strategies and contribute to long-term environmental sustainability.
