Area 1: Plant uptake and bioaccumulation of PFAS

• Visualization and spatial mapping of PFAS

This research focuses on how PFAS compounds are taken up by plants from contaminated soil and water sources, examining bioaccumulation mechanisms and their environmental and health implications.

Area 2: Treatment of PFAS

Phytoremediation, Hydrothermal liquefaction, Stabilization, Adsorption, etc.

Area 3: Interaction between plants and engineered nanomaterials

Area 4: Transport and fate of engineered nanomaterials in water and soil
