© 2014 EPFL
Prof. Yunho LEE from Gwangju Institute of Science & Technology - GIST (Republic of Korea) visits LTQE from July 1st to August 31st 2014.
Prof. Lee is a group leader of the Water Quality & Treatment Laboratory (WQTL). His research team investigates major water quality issues and develops/optimizes advanced water treatment technologies for safe drinking water supply, sustainable water resource management and protection of aquatic ecosystems that are continuing challenging issues in the community of water scientists and engineers worldwide.
The current main research includes 1) oxidation/disinfection processes for drinking water treatment and wastewater reclamation and reuse, 2) urine source separation and novel treatment/recovery technologies for sustainable resources management, and 3) gravity-driven membrane (GDM) process as a novel appropriate technology for safe drinking water supply. Therefore, WQTL‘s research areas cover not only urban, centralized systems (e.g. drinking or wastewater water treatment plant) but also small, decentralized systems that are applicable to community or even single house.
During his stay at EPFL, Prof. Lee will participate in research programmes on topics related in particular to the ‘kinetics and mechanisms of transformation of emerging contaminants of concern during oxidative water treatments‘.
