Biography
Dr Feroz Mahomed Swalaha is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Biotechnology & Food Technology, Durban University of Technology. He has worked extensively in the fields of biological wastewater treatment with the aid of mathematical modelling. Dr Swalaha is currently working on modelling anaerobic digestion with genetic algorithms, applying constructed wetlands to urban water treatment and algal scrubbing of CO2 emissions from waste industrial gases.
Research Interest
He also maintains an interest in developing new technologies for the treatment of water-borne pathogens and surveying of pathogens such as Legionella spp in domestic settings, Microbiology, Biostatistics, Biotechnology.
