  mentoring_philosophy: 'I aim to guide students in developing independent research skills by encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and ownership of their projects. Students gain experience in all stages of research—design, experimentation, data analysis, and academic publication—to strengthen their scientific communication and confidence. My mentoring also prepares students for graduate study by building technical expertise, fostering professional growth, and connecting them to research networks and opportunities. The goal is to help them become self-motivated, capable researchers ready for the next stage of their academic journey.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'Access to clean water is a global challenge, with increasing demand for cost-effective and sustainable filtration technologies. Nanofiber-based membranes have emerged as promising candidates for advanced water treatment due to their high surface area-to-volume ratio, tunable pore structure, and excellent filtration efficiency. This project aims to design and fabricate porous nanofiber membranes using the electrospinning technique, optimizing their structural and functional properties for high-efficiency water filtration.'
