1) Adopting waste to energy techniques to overcome the current waste management problem and use sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels in Bangladesh’s transportation sector:

i)    Biodiesel Production and Bioenergy Innovations in Bangladesh: Developing cost-effective and efficient catalysts, such as bifunctional hydrotalcite-based systems, for feasible biodiesel production from waste cooking oil (WCO) and other non-edible feedstocks. Focusing on process optimization, life-cycle assessment (LCA), techno-economic feasibility, and integration of green chemistry principles to ensure scalability and affordability in local contexts.

ii)    Biogas production from food (organic) waste: To evaluate the potential of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) for energy production, a technology that is still largely unpracticed in Bangladesh but holds strong future prospects due to its higher efficiency and superior environmental benefits.

2) Environmental Petroleomics: Investigating the molecular-level impact of crude oil/bio oil spills using ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry (UHR-MS) to understand the fate, transformation pathways, and environmental consequences of spilled oils, supporting effective oil spill response strategies and reducing ecological and human health risks.

3) Sustainable Environmental Practices: Advancing eco-innovation in energy and environmental sectors through green chemistry approaches, including the design of alternative adsorbents, advanced oxidation processes, and bioremediation techniques to remediate contaminated water and soil sustainably, thereby promoting long-term environmental and public health resilience.

4) Environmental Pollution and Monitoring: Examining the sources, distribution, and ecological impacts of heavy metals and other pollutants in soil, sediments, and aquatic ecosystems, particularly in coastal and industrial regions of Bangladesh. Utilizing advanced analytical techniques such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP) methods, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial risk assessment and environmental monitoring.

5) Public Health and Environmental Safety: Addressing the intersection of environmental contamination and human health by assessing the chronic and long-term impacts of heavy metals, organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants. Emphasizing evidence-based policy recommendations to minimize health hazards and ensure environmental justice.
