Mohammad A Al-Ghouti Author & Editor

Hui-Hsin Tseng is Professor of Occupational Safety and Health at the University of Chung Shan Medical University. She graduated in Chemical Engineering in 1997, and earned her M.S. in 2000 and Ph.D. in 2003 from Department of Environmental Engineering at National Chung Hsing University (NCHU). Recent research topics include development of the inorganic membranes and nanomaterials for hydrogen production/purification and carbon dioxide capture; design of the mixed-matrix membranes for vapor permeation, gas separation as well as oily wastewater treatment; and design of the antifouling membranes for metal recovery and water recycling from industrial effluents. She has authored or co-authored 84 technical articles, and three patents. Tseng was invited to serve as moderates or invited/keynote speakers in many international conferences including WFC12 in 2016, ISIM9 in 2018 and ICIM16 and WFC13 in 2021. Dr Lau is currently an associate professor at School of Chemical and Energy Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and a senior research fellow at Advanced Membrane Technology Research Centre (AMTEC). He obtained his Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical-Gas Engineering (2006) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Chemical Engineering (2009) from UTM. Dr Lau has a very strong research interest in the field of membrane science and technology for water and wastewater applications. As of April 2020, he has published over 170 scientific papers, 20 reviews, 15 book chapters and 2 edited books. Dr Lau is also the author of the original book entitled Nanofiltration Membranes: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications published by CRC Press in 2017. He is credited with 5 patents in the field of membrane science and technology with his collaborators from academia and industry. He wrote articles on the subject of water saving and reclamation for newspapers and magazines at both national and international level. Currently, Dr Lau serves as the co-editor for Journal of Applied Membrane Science & Technology and has been appointed as guest editors for several peer-reviewed journals such as The Malaysian Journal of Analytical Sciences, Chemical Engineering & Technology (Wiley), Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology (Wiley), Chemical Engineering Research and Design (Elsevier) and Polymers (MDPI). In 2018, he was appointed as Young Professionals Associate Member (YPAM) by International Water Association (IWA) Specialist Group "Membrane Technology". Dr Lau has received many national and international awards. These include Australian Endeavour Research Fellowship 2015, UI-RESOLV Program 2016 (Indonesia), Mevlana International Exchange Program 2017/2018 (Turkey), Sakura Exchange Program in Science 2018 (Japan), 4th and 6th Science & Technology Exchange Program (STEP) (Iran) and ASEAN-India Research and Training Fellowship (AI-RTF) 2019. Mohammad A. Al-Ghouti is an associate professor in environmental chemistry at Qatar University. He obtained his PhD degree in environmental chemistry from the Queen’s University of Belfast, UK. He serves as undergraduate programs coordinator at the Biological and Environmental sciences. Dr. Al-Ghouti was successful in securing funding for 10 external competitive funds, six internal finds, and two industrial projects. Dr Al-Ghouti has supervised 14 MSc and 5 PhD students. The focus of Dr. Al-Ghouti’s research is to prepare and modify surface of adsorbents and membranes, study the adsorption mechanisms and study the remediation behaviour on various environmental compartments, including areas of environmental chemistry, membrane coating, membrane modification, controlling CaSO4 scaling and biofouling on reverse osmosis membrane, nanoparticles for water and wastewater treatment, multivariate, environmental remediation, waste minimization, and treatment. In total, he has authored or co-authored over 138 peer-reviewed research publications in environmental sciences and environmental sciences-related journals and over 55 research abstracts and posters. He has published two book chapters related to the field of environmental sciences. His current Google Scholar Citation h-index is 26; i10-index is 58. Dr. Liang An received his Bachelor degree in Thermal and Power Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology and PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). After graduation, he worked as a visiting scholar and a postdoctoral fellow in the same research group. His research interests are in the area of clean energy-conversion technologies and renewable energy-storage technologies. His research interests include fuel cells and batteries.
