We are delighted to introduce Yunho Lee as an Editorial Board Member for our new journal Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology.
Yunho Lee
Yunho Lee is an assistant professor in the School of Environmental Science & Engineering at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology-GIST, Korea. He completed his Ph.D. in the Chemical Engineering Department at Seoul National University, Korea in 2005. He did a postdoctoral research at EAWAG, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology before joining GIST in 2011.
Yunho’s research interests include:
- drinking water quality and treatment
- wastewater reclamation and resource recovery
- (photo) chemical oxidation processes in natural and technical water systems
Yunho is currently researching the fate and treatment of organic contaminants of concern (e.g., antibiotics, resistant genes, nitrosamines) in natural and technical water systems, with focuses on environmental redox processes. To understand and optimize the redox processes and technologies, his group takes inter-disciplinary approaches combining chemistry, toxicology, microbiology, and process engineering. In addition to the water quality issues in urban, centralized systems, his group is investigating small-scale, decentralized treatment/recovery technologies for sustainable water and resources management. Current research topics are treatment/recovery technologies for source-separated urine and gravity-driven membrane-based water treatment technologies.
My inspiration:
“I like to do research and education in this multidisciplinary field of water science and engineering in which one can enjoy learning from basic theories to practical applications, and contribute something for attaining sustainable and healthy environment.”
