Abstract
My E-RISE group is dedicated to pioneering innovative engineering solutions to water and other environmental challenges. This presentation aims to overview my research with an focus on two intertwined themes. The first one explores technological innovations addressing emerging and persistent water contaminants, such as per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The second theme advances the adaptation of environmental systems to climate change, such as disaster resilience in water supply and the application of non-traditional water for water supply. Explore with me the innovative environmental engineering solutions for a sustainable future.
