Event details
Water, energy, and food sustainability are of strategic importance to human beings. Solutions to these problems are often challenging, complex and diverse. It is not impossible that a breakthrough in scientific principles may lead to innovative solutions for multiple sustainability problems.
This lecture will illustrate a personal development pathway of how a scientist tackles water pollution problems such as: harmful algal bloom; eutrophication; heavy metal pollution; perfluorinated chemicals; sediment remediation; from fundamental science (surface chemistry, nano materials, synchrotron technique) to engineering levels and how it will be developed into integrated water, energy, and food (WEF) security studies where waste water can be purified by turning pollutants into biofuel, electricity, anti-toxin biochar (for food safety), and other products, through innovative microalgae bio-refinery management.
