This research investigates how the shape, size, and surface chemistry of carbon nanomaterials influence their ability to remove contaminants from complex wastewater. By systematically testing nanomaterial variations against pollutants such as microplastics and petroleum derivatives, it aims to establish design rules that enable more effective, real-world water treatment technologies.

This research investigates how Plasmodium falciparum invades human red blood cells. By focusing on the neglected role of red cell surface structures, it aims to uncover molecular interactions essential for invasion. Understanding these mechanisms may guide the development of new treatments for drug-resistant malaria, a disease killing a child every minute.
