Dr. Tanveer Ahmed Gadhi has a doctorate in Chemical Engineering with distinction from Politecnico di Torino (POLITO), Italy, and currently working as an Assistant Professor in US. Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Water, Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro. His doctorate work was related to the design and development of photocatalytic nanomaterials and their application in wastewater treatment. He has remained as visiting scholar at the University of Utah, USA, the University of Ontario, Institute of Technology (UOIT), Oshawa, Canada, the UNIVERSIDAD NATIONAL AUTONOMA DE MEXICO (UNAM), Mexico. He has five years of working experience in the leading textile industry in Pakistan, with added expertise on the conservation of industrial water, energy and chemicals, and environmental sustainability. He has published various research papers in reputed international and national journals and is the author of two book chapters in international books and led several industrial projects related to environmental management, wastewater treatment, recycling, and reuse. He is also collaborating with Surface Chemistry of Material Group-DISAT-POLITO, on the research and development of nanomaterials to treat emerging contaminants and water-borne pathogens.
