Junming ZHANG

Junming ZHANG Research Topic Creating predictive models for underground water/wastewater infrastructures Research Abstract Water/wastewater infrastructure in developed countries is rapidly aging, with many sewer and drinking water systems approaching or exceeding their design lifespans. Due to limited manpower and financial constraints, comprehensive replacement or repair is not feasible, and there is an urgent need for predictive tools and effective indicators…

Marcus SANCHEZ

Marcus Sanchez Research Topic The prediction of clinical cases of infectious diseases using variant information obtained from wastewater Research Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of tracking the spread of pathogens throughout the community before symptoms appear, so that appropriate measures can be taken to limit the spread of disease. During the initial stages of an epidemic, there…

Luyao Wang

Luyao Wang, PhD student Research Topic Prediction of infectious disease prevalence based on wastewater surveillance using machine learning Research Abstract Infectious diseases caused by various pathogens are inducing severe social and economic burden worldwide. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been proven as a potential and viable supplementary surveillance tool for monitoring the transmission of various pathogens in communities. However, the relation…

Yohei MIURA

Yohei MIURA Research Topic Construction of prediction models for predicting the algal bloom occurrence in dam reservoirs Research Abstract Dam reservoirs are essential water resources for water supply, but algal blooms, the rapid increase of algae, have been confirmed in many reservoirs in the world. Some algae can produce toxic substances and the algal scum may inhibit the process of…

YiLei WANG

YiLei Wang Research Topic Biosensor development for the detection of infectious disease biomarkers in wastewater Research Abstract Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring of community health status through the analysis of a variety of biomarkers in wastewater, however, there are several barriers for WBE implementation, including signficant labor and cost. A rapid on-site detection tool…

Katayoun AMIRFARD

Katayoun Amirfard, PhD student Research Topic The importance of heavy metals in bacterial conjugation efficiency to enhance the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in environment Research Abstract With an anticipated yearly death toll of roughly 700,000, antibiotic resistance is growing at an unexpected speed. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) can be found in a variety of habitats and can spread their resistance…

Yu-bing LI

Yu-bing Li Research Topic Modeling of virus inactivation rate in natural water environments Research Abstract Viruses in treated/untreated wastewater are discharged to nature waterbody and could be transmitted through water, which raises public health concern. The inactivation rate of viruses in the natural water environments is an important factor to determine the human health risks in water usage, but related…
