Research Interests

Better use and control of complex microbial community in natural environments and development of novel bioreactor systems for water/wastewater treatment, e.g. removals of persistent organic pollutants and nitrogen, control of biofilm structure/activity, and elucidation of microbial community in rice paddy fields for removal of livestock wastewater. Development of a bio-interface towards prevention of biofilm formation, e.g. anti-bacterial surface and anti-fouling membrane.
