Research:
The lab focuses on topics related to water/wastewater treatment, advanced separation and nutrients recovery.
Currently there is ongoing research in the following fields:
​
Electrically Conducting Membranes for Water Treatment Applications
We have developed a range of electrically conducting carbon nanotube-polymer composite membranes suitable for most membrane-based water treatment applications, By applying an external electrical potential to the membrane surface we can prevent many fouling events, including biofouling, organic and colloidal fouling, and mineral scaling.

Emerging Contaminants Separation Separations
We take advantage of the membrane's inherent electrical conductivity to drive a range of electrochemical reactions, which can be used to destroy/transform aqueous contaminants.
