The projects aims to develop 2D and 3D high flux monolithic water purification filters with gradient porosity, tortuous pathways and selective adsorption for water pollutants.

In situ microscopy, X-ray scattering, and computational modeling for unravelling the synthesis and performance of nanocellulose based membranes in aqueous medium.

The project focuses on developing materials from renewable resources, and their evaluating their potential in developing functionalized surfaces for water-treatment.

Recycling of textiles and forest residues to produce chemicals and nanocellulose.

The research program address global sustainability challenges uses naturally occurring and commercially important raw materials to develop smart materials for removal of chemical wastes and pollutants from ambient water and air in the environment and industrial effluents. SU focus on biobased membranes and adsorbents for water treatment.

Tandem development of waste textile recycling process and chemical screening for a non-toxic- Re:Start. While recycling of textiles is identified as an urgent need, only 1% of textile is recycled globally today.

Inspired by the natural protective function of tree bark, the BarkBuild project aims to develop new wood treatment formulations and bark-based composites for wood building materials.
