The Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology team is very pleased to welcome two new researchers to our Advisory Board!

Professor Chris Gordon

Prof. Chris Gordon is the Founding Director of the Institute for Environment and Sanitation Studies at the University of Ghana. He holds a PhD in Human Environmental Health and Ecotoxicology from King’s College, London. He serves as the CDKN Country Engagement Lead for Ghana He has 35 years of experience in teaching, research, and outreach. He has contributed to the development of several policy documents for the Ghana Government, such as Climate Change Policy, Biodiversity, Science, Technology and Innovation, Water, Buffer Zone, as well as the State of the Environment Report 2016. Chris Gordon has won several awards including the Order of the Volta, awarded by the Government of Ghana for service in Development, Education and Research.

Professor Vincenzo Naddeo 

Prof. Vincenzo Naddeo is a professor at the Department of Civil Engineering and Director of the Sanitary Environmental Engineering Division (SEED), University of Salerno (Italy). He is also an affiliated professor both at University of Washington (Seattle, WA, USA) and at Tamkang University (Taiwan), and his research interests range from Environmental Science to Green Technologies.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Professors Gordon and Naddeo to the ESWRT Advisory Board.

We are excited to announce that Dr Krista Wigginton has joined the Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology Editorial Board as Associate Editor.

Dr Wigginton joins Graham Gagnon, Xia Huang, Stuart Khan, Paige Novak, and Mike Templeton as Associate Editors handling the peer review of submissions to the journal.

Krista received her M.S. and Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech and her B.S. in Chemistry at the University of Idaho and conducted postdoctoral research at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 2013, she joined the faculty in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan as an assistant professor of environmental engineering. Dr. Wigginton’s research team focuses on pollutant fate in water treatment processes, and on improving pathogen and micropollutant detection.  She’s the recipient of the U.S. NSF International Postdoctoral Fellowship and the NSF CAREER award.

We are confident that Krista will make an outstanding contribution to ESWRT in her new role as Associate Editor and we look forward to working with her further to continue the success of the journal.

We are delighted to introduce Zhiyong “Jason” Ren and Aijie Wang as new Editorial Board members for Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology.  

我们很高兴地宣布Zhiyong Jason Ren和王爱杰教授（中国科学院生态环境研究中心）作为编委加入Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology.

Zhiyong “Jason” Ren is an Associate Professor in Environmental Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. He also holds a joint appointment at the National Renewable Energy Lab. Jason’s research focuses on water-energy nexus and resource recovery. His group analyzes reaction mechanisms and develops novel environmental processes, with the goal of expanding environmental engineering from pollution control to sustainable development of resource recovery systems.

Read Jason’s latest ESWRT paper on microbial fuel cells

Aijie Wang is a Professor at the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Professor at the Harbin Institute of Technology, P.R. China. She is the Deputy Director of the National Engineering Laboratory for Industrial Wastewater Treatment, and Head of CAS Key Laboratory for Environmental Biotechnology. Her research interests cover water pollution control and resource recovery, which includes bio-based technology for heavily polluted industrial wastewater treatment, polluted aquatic environment bioremediation, and resources/bioenergy recovery from waste (water)/biosolids.

Aijie is Guest Editing a Themed Issue for ESWRT alongside Professors Jeremy Guest and Paige Novak on Anaerobic Technologies.
