Dr. Chi-Wang Li earned his Bachelor of Science in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering with honors from Tamkang University, Taiwan, in 1989. Subsequently, he obtained his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Engineering from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1993 and 1998, respectively. His doctoral dissertation was awarded the Best Doctoral Thesis Award by the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP). Dr. Li currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the JOURNAL OF Applied SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (JASE), which is indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), COMPENDEX PLUS (EI), and Scopus. He is a Professor in the Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering at Tamkang University, Taipei, Taiwan. His research interests primarily focus on integrating membrane technology with various physical and chemical processes for water and wastewater treatment. His current research endeavor centers on the recovery of resources, specifically fluoride and phosphate, from semiconductor wastewater through crystallization processes.

Aligned with Taiwan's ambitious 2050 net-zero emissions target, our laboratory leads the way in developing innovative solutions for sustainable semiconductor manufacturing. Recognizing the industry's environmental impact, we are committed to transforming waste streams into valuable resources. Our research focuses on developing and optimizing cutting-edge technologies for resource recovery from semiconductor wastewater.
