Qilin Wang
Qilin Wang is Professor in Environmental Engineering at University of Technology Sydney . His research focuses on the development of innovative technologies to revolutionize the science and practice of urban water management. He has developed a few award-winning technologies to maximize energy recovery from wastewater/waste, to achieve carbon-neutral wastewater treatment, to reduce waste production, to improve wastewater treatment performance through innovative nitrogen removal processes, to mitigate greenhouse gas (N2O) emission, to reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance genes, and to increase the capacity of anaerobic digesters, among others. Some of these technologies have been demonstrated at pilot scale and are being demonstrated at full-scale plants.
