Wastewater Disinfection & Monitoring

Advanced disinfection technologies and wastewater monitoring systems supporting environmental safety, pathogen tracking, and public-health protection.

Research in Public-Health Protection

Wastewater Surveillance

A city-wide COVID-19 monitoring program combined sampling, analysis, and data sharing to support earlier public-health insight.

Advanced Disinfection

UV and oxidant-assisted treatment approaches are studied for pathogen control and improved inactivation performance.

Antimicrobial Resistance

Research investigates UV tolerance in antimicrobial-resistant organisms and the potential of hydrogen peroxide to strengthen treatment performance.

From Monitoring to Action

The work connects wastewater analysis with decision-making by municipalities and health authorities, while also advancing treatment strategies that can be applied by water and wastewater facilities.
