High-Value Bioenergy Recovery from Wastewater

Prof. Bing-Jie Ni is an IWA Fellow and Full Professor at The University of New South Wales, in Australia. He works in the field of environmental technology and wastewater treatment, particularly the interface among process engineering, microbial biotechnology, materials science and mathematical modeling, focusing on the integration of these disciplines to develop innovative and sustainable technological solutions to achieve high-levels of pollutant removal from wastewater with a minimised carbon footprint and maximised energy recovery, in order to transform wastes or wastewater from a troublesome pollutant to a valuable resource and save large quantities of greenhouse gas emissions. Prof. Ni has published 2 research books, 30 book chapters, and more than 500 papers in referred ISI journals. He serves as He serves as Editor-in-Chief for Cleaner Water (Elsevier), Editor for Sustainable Horizons (Elsevier), and Associate Editor for the Environmental Chemistry Letters (Springer) and Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology (Taylor). Dr. Xuran Liu is a Research Fellow at the University of New South Wales, Australia. His research focuses on developing sustainable solutions for organic waste treatment and addressing the control of emerging pollutants in natural and engineered environments. Dr. Liu has published over 130 papers in peer-reviewed ISI journals and has been consistently recognized among the World’s Top 2% Scientists by Stanford/Elsevier since 2021.
