Ph.D. candidate, M.Sc., B.Sc.
Roya is a Ph.D. candidate in civil engineering at the department of civil engineering, Faculty of engineering and applied science, Memorial University of Newfoundland. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical engineering from the University of Tehran, Iran and her Master’s degree in Chemical engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. For her Master’s project, she focused on the immobilization of enzymes to nanoparticles for use in wastewater treatment. Her research area now includes water and wastewater treatment using renewables and value-added products.
Her research area now includes water and wastewater treatment using renewables and value-added products. One of her remarkable achievements is the development of innovative adsorbents derived from waste materials like mussel shells. These adsorbents are highly effective in removing arsenic from drinking water, providing affordable and sustainable solutions to address water quality challenges.
