Soheil works at the intersection of microbial ecology, environmental biotechnology, bioprocess engineering, and artificial intelligence. His research focuses on understanding, modelling, and engineering complex microbial communities within wastewater systems and waste-to-value bioprocesses.
At the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE), he integrates multi-omics, ecological modelling, and machine learning to link microbial community structure and function with system stability, resilience, and performance. A primary objective of his work is the development of predictive, AI-guided frameworks for the real-time monitoring and autonomous control of engineered microbial ecosystems.
In addition to bioprocess optimization, he applies bioinformatics workflows to monitor antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in engineered water systems. This research investigates the dynamics between microbial communities and mobile genetic elements to better understand and mitigate environmental public health risks.
His broader translational research explores circular biomanufacturing, specifically the conversion of food-processing waste streams into sustainable microbial protein for aquaculture feed. He welcomes collaborations in the fields of AI-enabled environmental biotechnology, microbial community engineering, wastewater resource recovery, and microbial protein production.
