Professor Hesam Kamyab's research lab specializes in sustainable water resource management and environmental remediation, with a strong focus on innovative treatment technologies for industrial and agricultural wastewater. The lab explores the integration of advanced materials—such as activated carbon and microalgae—with artificial intelligence and big data analytics to enhance pollutant removal efficiency and process optimization. Key research directions include the development of hybrid photocatalytic and adsorption systems for wastewater treatment and the utilization of palm oil mill effluent (POME) as a nutrient source for microalgal cultivation, promoting circular economy principles in the palm oil industry. The lab also investigates smart monitoring and decision-support systems using AI to improve real-time water quality management and operational sustainability.

The effective management of water resources is essential to environmental stewardship and sustainable development. Traditional approaches to water resource management (WRM) struggle with real-time data acquisition, effective data analysis, and intelligent decision-making. To address these challenges, innovative solutions are required. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Analytics (BDA) are at the forefront and have the potential to revolutionize the way water resources are managed. This pa
Nowadays, water contamination resulting from the disposal of industrial and urban waste poses a significant threat to marine life and human. Hence, providing an effective treatment approach to reduce the total cost and duration of the wastewater treatment process is crucial. Although the adsorption and photocatalysis methods show superb potential for removing hazardous pollutants from water, their combination through a suitable synthesis route is one of the most effective ways to overcome their
Malaysia is considered as a major palm oil producer in the world. Therefore, it is vital to utilize an environmentally friendly and inexpensive method to treat palm oil mill effluent (POME) in Malaysia. Nowadays, the use of microalgae to remove pollutants from POME has gained a lot of attention. The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of POME as a nutrient on the microalgae growth and analyze the removal rate of pollution. In this study, a pure culture Chlamydomonas inc
In recent decades, Malaysia has been known as one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of palm oil products. Every year, the number of palm oil mills increases rapidly, thus increasing the capacity of fresh fruit bunch waste or effluent discharge. Based on the data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board in 2012, Malaysia produced 99.85 million tons of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) per year. However, about 5–5.7 tons of water was required in order to sterilize the palm fruit bunches and clarify th
