Hi I’m
Farshad Abavisani
Welcome to my homepage.I recently defended my M.Sc thesis with a high score as a graduate student of Chemical Engineering in the Biotechnology field. My research interests include a wide range of topics such as: Biotechnology, Green Energy, Microbial Fuel Cell, Wastewater Treatment, Contaminant Removal, Antimicrobial Compounds, Cell Culture, Anaerobic fermentation and Bioreactor Design. Furthermore, I have a strong desire to conduct research on Biomedical Engineering, Modelling of Actual Chemical and Microbiological Processes and Statistical Data Analysis. It is my pleasure to answer your questions with my Email or you can comment at the bottom of this page.
