A H M Anwar Sadmani is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering at the University of Central Florida, affiliated with the College of Engineering and Computer Science. His research is centered on advanced water and wastewater treatment technologies, particularly membrane-based and green hybrid processes for removing contaminants of emerging concern such as PFAS and algal toxins.
His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto, a postdoctoral fellowship at the same institution, a Master’s degree from UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands, and a Bachelor’s from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
Sadmani's research interests span membrane technology, PFAS remediation, green sorption media, hybrid treatment systems, and the fate and transport of micropollutants. He has made significant contributions to the development of functionalized membranes and sustainable materials for water purification. His recent publications highlight a strong focus on PFAS removal across varying water matrices, nanomaterial applications, and innovative hybrid processes.
The trend in his recent articles (2019–2023) demonstrates a sustained emphasis on engineered solutions for persistent pollutants, especially PFAS, using advanced membranes and green media. His work bridges materials innovation with environmental application, targeting real-world water quality challenges.
His scientific recognition includes:
- UCF Teaching Incentive Program Award (2022)
- U.S. EPA P3 Award (2018)
- Student Best Paper Award at AMTA/AWWA Conference (2013)
- Ontario Graduate Scholarship (2012–2013)
- University of Toronto Fellowship (2008–2012)
- Netherlands Fellowship Program (2006–2008)
- Government Merit Scholarship, Bangladesh (1998–2004)
Sadmani has successfully advised numerous graduate students, evident from his co-authored publications with emerging researchers. His research is supported by prestigious grants from federal agencies including USEPA, DoD, and NASA, as well as state and industrial partners. He leads the Advanced Water and Wastewater Treatment Lab, where interdisciplinary teams work on cutting-edge solutions for water security and sustainability.
