The EVNG program focuses on innovative technologies to address different applications in
the
environmental engineering area and seeks to provide research students with an
understanding
of effective environmental management strategies. The main research areas
include: (1) Innovative water and wastewater treatment technologies, (2) Solid/hazardous waste management and waste recycling/reuse, (3) Contaminated land and groundwater remediation, (4) Indoor and outdoor air quality, and (5) Environmental sustainability and renewable energy.
The School has won numerous research grants and contracts from the government bodies (the Research Grants Council and the Innovation Technology Fund, etc.), industry and other external organizations. A number of research projects are available in the EVNG program. |
