Biography

Poh Phaik Eong is an Associate Professor in the Chemical Engineering Discipline and currently serves as the Director of Research Excellence in Monash University Malaysia.

Research interests

Water security is an issue affecting many parts of the world and it is essential to ensure sustainability of water access. Rapid urbanisation and development of industries in Malaysia meanwhile has contributed to contamination of freshwater sources. Therefore, my primary research interest involves the application of technologies for water/wastewater treatment, with focus on the following areas:

Biological treatment of industrial wastewater (particularly anaerobic digestion)
Development of decentralised treatment system for non-potable reuse
Technologies for water remediation accessible to remote communities

Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):

Research area keywords

Anaerobic digestion
Greywater treatment
Decentralised wastewater treatment system
Water sanitation
Micropollutant removal from water
