Biography
Chee Xiang Chen’s research focuses on wastewater treatment and resource recovery from high strength wastewaters (e.g., sidestreams from wastewater treatment plants, industrial wastewater, and human waste) using physical, chemical, and biological processes. He is particularly interested in recovering nutrients from high strength waste streams for further processing and reuse. His work includes assessing the downstream impacts of resource recovery, evaluating the economic viability of specific recovery scenarios, and improving existing recovery methods to enhance system performance, environmental outcomes, and cost efficiency. Through these efforts, he is committed to advancing resource circularity in water and wastewater systems.Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
