Academic Collaboration

Building a well-developed and deep-rooted academic collaboration is everyone's desire in the academic community. Collaboration is an energy, it brings different ideas to a table and builds big ideas, bring real outputs, and solve societal challenges. As the fellow of the DOROTHY MSCA COFUND programme, I and my supervisors Professor Witold Kwapinski from University of Limerick, Ireland and Professor Urška Lavrenčič Štangar from University of Ljubljana, Slovenia are working on Transition Metal Oxy-Sulfide-Based Nanomaterials for design and development of Thin Film Photocatalyst Materials for Photodegradation of Emerging Contaminants, mainly Antibiotics. Professor Kibret Mekuanint from University of Western Ontario, Canada is my mentor, where he is a fully experienced researcher and has a subject area knowledge of our project. Dr. Osman Ahmed Zelekew and Dr. Noto Susanto Gultom were my lab-mates during my PhD work, where we did significant research outputs together and we are currently sharing/exchanging knowledge on our respective research fields and plans. We all the collaborators have a plan to compete for European Research Council (ERC), Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-Ireland funding challenges to bring visible research outputs, which could bring significant solutions for societal challenges.

  Contaminants of Emerging Concern as Major Public Health Challenges The presence of unregulated and unmonitored contaminants, called Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), at low concentrations ( µg/L and sub-µg/L ) in surface, ground, and drinking water is becoming an increasing concern for the scientific communities and the public in general. They include different varieties of pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PCPs), debris of microplastics (MPs), flame retardants (FRs), pesticides, and artificial sweeteners (ASWs). The existence of all living organisms, including human beings, depends on the overall condition of the environment. The more all its parts become clean the more all the living organisms can exist healthy and possibly longer life expectancy. However, what is happening on the ground is the reverse. Plenty of waste products are disposed to our beautifully and well-designed environment continuously in solid, liquid, and gaseous forms. We human beings are th...
