Development of Novel Bioelectrochemical Membrane Separation Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery

Dr. Yunkun Wang received his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from University of Science & Technology of China in 2014. He is currently an associate professor at the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Shandong University, China, involved in developing membrane-based technologies for sustainable wastewater treatment. Originally trained as an environmentalist, Dr. Yunkun Wang adopts multidisciplinary approaches to tackle environmental problems, especially water pollution issues. His research interest lies in the development of novel membrane separation materials and processes for water treatment and resources recovery, with over 40 research papers published, including Environmental Science & Technology, Water Research and Science Advances. He was awarded by Chinese Academy of Sciences with the Excellent Doctoral Dissertation.
