报告内容简介：

Our environment faces different challenges, spanning from environmental pollution, climate change, sprawling urbanization, population growth, to natural disasters. Environmental engineers design systems and find solutions to surmount the challenges at the interface between humans and the environment. My research program focuses on environmental systems and processes. We use physical and chemical principles to tackle water quality-related issues, particularly in urban areas and climate vulnerable coastal communities. Because water actively interacts with other environmental elements (e.g., air, soil, sediments, and solid waste), our efforts will ultimately benefit the whole environmental system. This presentation will introduce two intertwined research threads that my group has nurtured over the past years. The first theme is technology innovations for mitigation of environmental pollutants in a cost- and energy-efficient manner. Examples include emerging advanced reduction processes (ARPs) for the removal of per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and multi-functional ferrate(VI) technologies for water reuse and food production. The second thread is to advance adaptation of environmental systems to climate change. Specifically, the topics include disaster resilience of water supply, urban stormwater treatment, and water supply for urban agriculture.
