2015: Ph.D., Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. Faculty of Environmental Engineering.

My major research interests are on:
1. Water and wastewater reuse safety.
2. Sustainable wastewater treatment technologies.
3. Advanced treatment processes to remove micropollutant from wastewater and biosolids.
4. Bioenergy recovery from wastewater.
