Our research and education emphasize a strong link to societal needs and real-life environmental challenges. We strive to advance our fundamental knowledge and develop carbon-negative engineering solutions to actualize Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We conduct interdisciplinary research and foster knowledge transfer, e.g.,
-
Value-added utilization of food waste, yard waste, agro-waste, sludge, and CO2
-
Sustainable and green treatment of incineration ash, EV battery, e-waste, and contaminated soil/sediment
-
Stormwater harvesting and industrial wastewater treatment for resilient water cycles
