According to Clarivate Analytics and Thomson-Reuters he is among the world's most highly cited authors. He has received Fellowships from Dreyfus, Fulbright, Guggenheim, Packard, and Sloan Foundations along with the Materials Research Society Medal, the Royal Society of Chemistry Centenary Prize, the Chemical Pioneer Award, and the American Chemical Society Award in the Chemistry of Materials.Jishan Wu is a Ph.D. student in UCLA's Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, under the supervision of Prof. Eric M.V. Hoek. His research revolves around membrane and other advanced technologies for water applications. He is the lead author of the book Sustainable Desalination and Water Reuse. His Ph.D. thesis focuses on developing novel ultrahigh pressure reverse osmosis (UHPRO) with the objective of achieving minimum/zero liquid discharge more cost-effective and sustainable.Dr. Jingbo Wang is currently a postdoctoral scholar working with Prof. Eric Hoek and Prof. David Jassby in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at UCLA. She received her B.S. from Wuhan University in Water and Wastewater Engineering, and Ph.D. from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Environmental Sciences and Engineering. Her research interests focus on desalination, water and wastewater treatment with membrane technologies, and application of nanotechnology in membrane separation and other physical/chemical processes in environmental systems.Yiming Liu is currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UCLA. His research with Prof. Eric Hoek is modeling membrane-based desalination processes that enables high water recovery. Yiming obtained his Master's degree in Civil Engineering from UCLA and his Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering from Tsinghua University.Unnati Rao is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the NANOMETER lab under the guidance of Dr. Eric M.V. Hoek. Her research focusses on the development and testing of membrane materials for water treatment. She has also extensively worked in the application of electrochemistry for water treatment processes. She has over six technical publications.
