Prof. Irene Man Chi Lo | The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Hong Kong, China
Speech Title: Transforming Wastewater into Green Hydrogen using Negative Carbon Emission PEC Technology
Bio: Irene Lo is currently a Chair Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. She is an Elected Member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, and Elected Fellow of Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences. She is also a Fellow of Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, and Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers. She was appointed by HKSAR Government as Justices of the Peace (JP) in 2017. She was Adjunct Professor of Tongji University, Tianjin University, Jilin University and Harbin Institute of Technology in China. She was also Visiting Professor of Technical University of Denmark and the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Prof. Lo is an internationally renowned scholar and is among the first to invent iron-based nanomaterials and photocatalytic materials for the removal of heavy metals, organics, and emerging pollutants such as antibiotics from water and subsurface environment as well as to investigate the fundamental understanding of the pollutant removal mechanisms. Her research is ground-breaking and innovative, sustainable, and the outcome application is economical. She was the recipient of numerous prestigious international research awards, such as 2007 ASCE Samuel Arnold Greeley Award, 2009 ASCE Wesley W Horner Award, and the 2012 ASCE EWRI Best Practice-Oriented Paper Award. In addition, she received the 2019 Higher Education Outstanding Scientific Research Output Awards in the Natural Science / Technology Advancement by Ministry of Education, China and the 2024 First Runner-up from the International contest of Net-zero Technology. She has been invited to give over 100 plenary / keynote / invited speeches at many international and regional conferences in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America.
Her research interests include advanced oxidation processes and nanoparticles / nanotechnology for environmental applications. Her citation is ~21700 with H-index 80, as reported by Google Scholar. She was recognized as "Top 2% Scientists in the World” by Stanford university every year since 2019.
Oral Session
At the conference, scholars from more than ten countries and regions — such as Hong Kong, Indonesia, Qatar, Bulgaria, the Philippines, the United States, and Niger — gave oral presentations on their research.
