Served as a committee member for the 18th IWA World Conference on Anaerobic Digestion (AD18), held at Istanbul Congress Center, where I collaborated with fellow experts and researchers from Istanbul Technical University. My responsibilities included creating graphical designs and participating in committee decision-making. This role allowed me to enhance my skills in event organization, teamwork, and communication within an international academic context, while also deepening my expertise in anaerobic digestion technologies and sustainable wastewater treatment solutions.

Project Title: Enhancement of Methane Production in Anaerobic Co-digestion of Thermally Pre-treated Waste Activated Sludge and Dairy Industry WastewaterStudent Objective:🔍 Our project aims to enhance the efficiency of methane production by co-digesting thermally pre-treated waste activated sludge (WAS) with dairy industry wastewater (DW).Overview:📊 Thermal Pre-treatment: WAS samples were pre-treated at different temperatures (60°C, 90°C, and 120°C) and times (15, 30, and 60 minutes) to determine optimal conditions.🧪 Co-digestion: BMP tests were conducted to evaluate methane yields for co-digestion of pre-treated WAS with DW at different mixture ratios.🌟 Results:Pre-treatment improved the release of organic matter in WAS.Higher methane yields were observed with increased pre-treatment temperatures.Co-digestion showed synergistic effects, further enhancing methane production.Preliminary Insights:🌱 Early results are promising, showing significant improvements in methane production efficiency and effluent quality.Conclusion:🔬 Thermal pre-treatment and co-digestion with DW are effective strategies for boosting methane production, offering a sustainable approach for energy recovery in wastewater treatment plants.I look forward to sharing more detailed results and insights as the research progresses! 🌿

Project Title: Optimizing Rainwater Harvesting Systems through Material and Slope Analysis🔍 Objective:The primary focus of this project was to optimize rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems by investigating the effects of different roofing materials and roof slopes. The study aimed to provide a comprehensive guide for selecting the most effective roofing solutions for RWH.📊 Methodology:Material & Slope Analysis: Conducted a thorough examination of various roofing materials and slopes to understand their impact on rainwater harvesting.Quality Assessment: Measured multiple parameters to characterize the quality of harvested rainwater (HRW).Decision-Making: Utilized Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) to objectively select the most suitable roofing options for RWH.Water Treatment: Implemented a sequential ultrafiltration and ultraviolet disinfection (UF+UV) system to treat HRW, ensuring it meets the quality standards for irrigation water.📈 Key Findings:The choice of roofing material and slope significantly influences the efficiency of RWH systems.A well-calibrated MCDM model can effectively guide the selection of optimal roofing solutions.The UF+UV treatment system successfully treated HRW to meet irrigation water quality standards.🌱 Implications:The study underscores the importance of selecting the right roofing material and slope for effective rainwater harvesting. It also provides a robust framework for water treatment, paving the way for sustainable water reuse in irrigation systems.🔗 Technologies Used:Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM)Ultrafiltration (UF)Ultraviolet Disinfection (UV)
