faculty & staff
Dr. Bautista finished his MS in Chemical Engineering with Specialization in Pollution Engineering in 2012. He is now taking up PhD in Chemical Engineering. He is involved in the water and wastewater treatment methods. His recent studies focus on the degradation of organic pollutants using advance oxidation processes (AOP) mainly on photocatalysis. He has conducted parametric, optimization, kinetics and reactor design studies on photocatalytic degradation of various pollutants. He also has experiences in pipeline and plant layout designs.
