Prof. Dr. Samuel Bunani currently works at the Department of Chemistry, University of Burundi.  He is an ARISE fellow working as PI of research project granted for 5 years (2022-2027) by AAS. He obtained his PhD and MSc in Analytical Chemistry in 2017 and 2013, respectively, from Ege University, Turkey. Dr. Bunani does research in Analytical Chemistry applied to the environmental issues. He is mostly interested in water quality analysis, membrane separation technology (NF and RO) for water reuse, electromembrane processes for wastewater management using electrodialysis (ED) and recovery of valuable chemicals from water using bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED). His interest includes inorganic water traces decontamination by using ED and ultrapure water production by using electrodeionization (EDI). The future perspective of Prof. Bunani is to develop efficient technologies and strategies for safe water supply and clean environment by managing the available water resources and aqueous waste streams. From this liquid waste management, he intends to recover nutrients to supply farmers green fertilizers for soil amelioration.
