Biography
Mohammed Babu was born on March 21st 1973 in Mbale, Uganda. He holds an Msc Environmental Science and Technology and aPhD from UNESCO-IHE, Delft, The Netherlands. Currently, he is lecturing at the department of Environmental Science at the Islamic University in Uganda. His major research interests include water quality, pollution monitoring, wastewater research, wetland ecology, limnology and solid waste management. He has researched on the use of biofilms in improving nitrogen removal in waste stabilization ponds. His studies have shown that biofilms have a potential to improve nitrogen removal in wastewater stabilization ponds.
