Prof. Ching-Hua Huang
Oxidative Water Treatment for Disinfection and Decontamination: Searching for Alternative Oxidants and Broadening Chemical Knowledge/Application.
Dr. Ching-Hua Huang is the Turnipseed Family Chair and Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. Prof. Huang received her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in environmental engineering from Johns Hopkins University, and B.S. degree in chemistry from National Taiwan University. Prof. Huang has been conducting research and teaching on environmental chemistry, contaminants of emerging concerns (CECs), and treatment technology development for more than two decades. Her research activities focus on: (1) chemical fate of CECs in natural and engineered water systems; (2) innovative advanced oxidation processes for removal of CECs and control of pathogens and disinfection byproducts (DBPs); and (3) waste remediation and resource recovery of critical metals. Prof. Huang has led many government- and industry-funded research project and published extensively (>150 journal publications) on those topics. Prof. Huang has also been active in editorial roles, including as Associate Editor of ACS ES&T Water and Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN), and Editorial Advisory Board member of Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) and others. Prof. Huang is the recipient of the 2022 CAPEES/Nanova Lifetime Achievement Award and has been an invited guest professor at several top-ranking universities abroad. The research by Dr. Huang and her students has received many awards from professional societies such as the American Chemical Society (ACS) and Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) and Association of Chinese American Professors in Environmental Engineering and Sciences (CAPEES).
