Research & Publications

Fun fact: I do love research and sustainability work, but this blog is mostly about my everyday adventures and fun experiences! Research posts are the exception, not the rule here. 😉

When I'm not blogging about fun stuff, I dive into environmental research. My work focuses on sustainable water treatment technologies and finding practical solutions for environmental challenges. It's exciting work, but honestly, my favorite part is still sharing the lighter side of life!

Design of biocompatible Gelatin hydrogels reinforced with magnetite nanoparticles: Effective removal of chromium from water environment

This study presents the development of magnetite-reinforced gelatin hydrogels as an eco-friendly and efficient adsorbent for chromium removal from aqueous environments. The work explores the material's biocompatibility, adsorption kinetics, and reusability potential, contributing to sustainable water treatment technologies.
