Research Interests

My main research objectives lies in BSF, also known as Black Soldier Flies. With the team, I would like gain processing knowledge of waste management, waste reusability and conversion to resourceful materials such as bio-fuel. I want to learn how build a process plant from conceptualization stage to the construction stage. Obtaining industrial and experimental knowledge will fuel my decision in the future about where I want to go. Therefore, this project is ideal for me as it incorporates both aspects.
