Background

Samaneh has a PhD in Environmental Engineering specialising in functional materials and separation processes for water treatment, environmental remediation, and sustainable resource recovery. Her research integrates materials design and synthesis, surface chemistry, advanced characterisation, experimental optimisation, and mechanistic analysis to understand and improve the performance of materials and processes for contaminant removal and resource recovery.

She is a Research Fellow in Ion Exchange Processes, contributing to the EPHIC project (Electrochemically assisted Phosphorus and Humics recovery via Ion exChange). Her research focuses on developing and evaluating intensified ion exchange processes for the removal and recovery of phosphorus and humic substances from real wastewater, including integration with regenerant recovery. The project aims to advance circular and resource-efficient water treatment by reducing chemical inputs, achieving low phosphorus concentrations, and recovering valuable products for agricultural and industrial applications.
