Introduction
WQTL opened its door from June, 2011 as Dr. Yunho Lee joined the School of Enviromental Science & Engneering (SESE) at GIST as a new faculty member. WQTL is seeking and welcoming talented and self-motivated students who are interested in taking master and Ph.D. course in SESE.
WQTL investigates major water quality issues and develops/optimizes advanced water treatment and resource recovery technologies for safe drinking water supply, sustainable water and resource management and protection of aquatic ecosystems that are continuing challenging issues in the community of water scientists and engineers worldwide. The current main research includes;
1) oxidation/disinfection processes for drinking water treatment and wastewater reclamation and reuse
2) urine source separation and novel treatment/recovery technologies for sustainable sanitation system
3) gravity-driven membrane (GDM) process as a novel appropriate technology for safe drinking water supply
Therefore, our research areas cover not only urban, centralized systems (e.g. drinking water treatment plants) but also small, decentralized systems that are applicable to community or even single house.
