Biography
Dr. Khalili's main research focus is development and characterization of cost-effective and highly efficient catalysts for environmental redemption and treatment. The novelty of the work accomplished to date is that waste materials itself are used for the production of these catalysts. The groundbreaking research activities have resulted in efficient processes for conversion of biosolids and papermill sludge to carbon-based adsorbents and catalysts.
