Laboratory of Membrane Water Treatment Technology
Research Field
Laboratory of Membrane Water Treatment Technology offers innovative graduate-level research programs in multidisciplinary water research including membrane fabrication, membrane application, and environmental nanotechnology in water treatment engineering. Prof. Shiao-Shing Chen, who is a distinguished professor currently works at the Institute of Environmental Engineering and Management in Taipei Tech, is in charge of this lab. Prof. Chen does research in water treatment membrane process for more than 20 years and his current project includes novel membrane processes such as forward osmosis, membrane distillation and pervaporation. This laboratory focuses on the development of novel composite membranes using interfacial polymerization methods for water processes (forward osmosis and membrane distillation) as well as organic solvent separation (pervaporation) for lab and industrial scales. This laboratory is equipped with versatile filtration units that can be easily applied and configured to match most testing requirements in real world applications.

Prof. Shiao-Shing Chen is a distinguished professor in the Institute of Environmental Engineering and Management in National Taipei University of Technology. He received his master degree from University of Maryland, and doctoral degree from University of Central Florida, both in the Environmental Program. He has been a visiting Professor in University of Technology, Sydney, Australia and in University of Washington, Seattle, USA. He currently also is an Adjunct Professor at Vellore Institute of Technology in Tamil Nadu, India. He has over 30 years of experience in water treatment, has authored more than 100 journal publications, and obtained an outstanding research award three times in his university, and also just received Y. Z. Hsu scientific award in 2023. His interest is mainly on the physicochemical process of water treatment by incorporation of membrane. Currently, his projects have primarily dealt with membrane, oxidation-reduction, and catalysis processes for micropollutant removal.
