Our research focuses on enhancing the removal of conventional pollutants, emerging contaminants (such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and microplastics), heavy metals, and pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes. We achieve this by optimizing existing processes and developing advanced treatment technologies to enable safe water reuse.

To further optimize system performance in protecting water resources, minimizing carbon footprints, achieving energy neutrality, and reducing operational costs, we are creating novel modeling tools and methodologies. Through these initiatives, our ultimate goal is to transform the water and wastewater sector into a sustainable, resource-efficient pillar of modern society.
