Taiwan

Grant: Post Doctoral Research Fellow through the Center-of- Excellence (COE) program, which has been supported by a grant from CMT and the Ministry of Education (MOE) Taiwan. And research grant from National Science Council (NSC) of Taiwan.Research associate: Professor Sheng-Jie You Work profile: To Carry out fundamental research in Membrane formation and surface modification, membrane fouling, membrane separation and designing hybrid MBR water and wastewater treatment systems. Guiding master students during their research work. Maintaining instrumental and analytical laboratories. Writing research proposals for obtaining government grant for different research projects.Major achievements: In this project we aimed to develop a method for preparation of highly micro-porous antifouling composite PVDF/TiO2 membrane with enhance permeability and self-cleaning properties. We hope this modification could solve membrane fouling and frequent chemical cleaning problem. This project also aimed to develop and design appropriate MBR treatment system (pilot scale) using modified self cleaning membrane system for the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater treatment systems. Therefore, this research will be helpful for developing actual large-scale treatment system for implementing this treatment system for actual wastewater.
