Zakir leads our advanced water treatment projects, primarily focused on membrane-based treatment. His main responsibilities include mentoring our water reuse process teams, pursuing and winning water treatment projects across North America, and presenting and publishing papers and articles on leading-edge advanced treatment topics (more than 70 to date).
Always passionate about emerging technologies¡ªand as an expert in physiochemical and biological treatment¡ªZakir worked on membrane bioreactors (MBR) during his masters at the University of Southern California. At the time, the MBR process was viewed with a lot of skepticism by wastewater practitioners, but today, Zakir is leading two of the largest water reuse programs in the world that will use MBRs to enhance water sustainability.
Later in his career, Zakir hopes to apply his ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ to improving water quality in underdeveloped countries.
