Dr. Emad Alhseinat

Biography

Dr. Emad Alhseinat is an Associate Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at Khalifa University. Since being appointed as Assistant Professor at KU in 2016, he has managed to attract internal and external research grants that total more than AED 6.7 Million as a principal investigator (PI). Dr. Alhseinat has established his lab in novel separation processes for water treatment and desalination at KU. Dr. Alhseinat has filed five patents with KU and published several scientific journal papers in high-impact Journals, i.e., Water Research, Desalination, Chemical Engineering, Separation and Purification Technology, Electrochimica Acta, and Journal of Physical Chemistry C.

Dr. Alhseinat is currently an active member of the Center for Membranes and Advanced Water Technology (CMAT) and the Center for Catalysis and Separations (CeCaS) at KU. His research efforts are focused on solving the problem of freshwater shortage in arid regions by improving the efficiency of water desalination and treatment processes and creating innovative and sustainable solutions.
