Group Leader
Dr. Hassan Anwer
Introduction
The Environmental Nano is an emerging research group launched by Dr. Hassan Anwer in 2022. The group aims to develop indigenous technologies and solutions based on nanohybrids and coatings in water/wastewater treatment, air purification, green energy, and sustainable agriculture. The nanotech products of the research group are in high demand in the industry. The research students working in the nanotechnology’s development get the opportunity to develop materials synthesis and characterization skills which go a long way to advance their careers in diverse practical fields.
