【講演者について】
Professor Hai is the director of the Strategic Water Infrastructure Lab (SWIL) and the coordinator of the ‘Environmental Engineering and Water Resources Powerhouse’ of the University of Wollongong, Australia. He is an executive board member of the Membrane Society of Australasia. His work underpins protection of land and water resources from contamination and aims at fostering sustainable harnessing of bioresource and energy. SWIL conducts a broad spectrum of research and development consultancies, particularly covering topics such as wastewater treatment and reuse, resource recovery from waste(water), public health – water quality nexus, and mitigation of environmental impacts of industrial activities.

From antibiotics to microplastics –the hazards associated with emerging contaminants have been well-documented. This presentation addresses some of the research gaps at the nexus of water quality, public health and ecology. A particular focus is given on the application of hybrid technologies, ultra-sensitive chromatographic analysis, molecular-microbiology, toxicity bioassays and mathematical modelling to elucidate the factors affecting the removal of the emerging contaminants from polluted water.
