Principles of Environmental Engineering

Prof. Yan LIU has conducted research, consulting and teaching in environmental engineering in Shanghai and Hong Kong after she obtained her BSc, MPhil and PhD degrees at Tongji University, Shanghai, P. R., China, during 1980 to 1990. She has been a full professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University, Shanghai, China, from 2005. She has published over 160 journal articles including those published in Water Research, Environmental Science and Technology, Nature: Scientific Reports, Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, Journal of Hazardous Materials, etc., held 24 China patents and completed 32 research projects from foundation, 40 consulting research and 11 design projects. Her research interests include drinking water treatment, drinking water disinfection health risk control, mechanism of biological denitrification and phosphorus removal, intracellular polymer synthesis and transformation mechanism of sewage, formation mechanism of extracellular polymers and role in the sewage treatment, anaerobic biological treatment for municipal wastewater at ambient temperature, urban drainage system, urban non-point source pollution control, urban water network system, wastewater recycling, toxic and harmful organic matter removal by anaerobic biological treatment, etc., as well as many research achievements have been made and applied in the treatment of industrial wastewater including pesticide, pharmaceutical, coking, printing and dyeing, chemical, casting, etc.. She has been teaching undergraduates and postgraduates for master's or doctoral degree including principles of environmental engineering, water pollution control, industrial water pollution control, water treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, chemistry of water treatment, theory and design for wastewater treatment, environmental microbiology, wastewater treatment experiment, environmental monitor and analysis, etc.
