Dr. Mohd Salim Mahtab has worked at the Civil Engineering Department (A.M.U.) since 2018. In 2016 and 2018, he received a B.Tech. in Civil Engineering and an M.Tech. in Civil (Environmental Engineering) from A.M.U. In 2023, he received a Ph.D. degree from the department. His area of expertise is using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to treat complex wastewater. He has published more than 35 scientific publications as an outcome of his research activity in international peer-reviewed journals (16), book chapters (05), and international conferences (16). He has 552 citations on Google Scholar (h-index: 11; i10-index: 11). At several academic events, including conferences and international workshops, he has represented A.M.U. He has recently published one Indian patent (2024). He has so far supervised four M.Tech. dissertations and one (in progress). He is currently teaching various Civil engineering courses.
