Xiaowu Huang
Associate Professor
Environmental Science and Engineering Research Group
Office: R420, North Campus
Xiaowu received his PhD degree in Environmental Engineering from Kumamoto University (CSC, 2013-2016) and was working at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG) as a visiting scholar during his Ph.D. (Jan. 2015 to Sept. 2015). Dr. Huang completed his postdoctoral training at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (2016-2018) and The University of Hong Kong (2019-2021) and joined GTIIT as an associate professor in the summer of 2021. His group at GTIIT mainly focus on anammox, biological wastewater treatment, and biowaste recycling. He has published over 30 peer-review papers on leading journals like ISME, EST, WR and CEJ and received several awards including Guangdong Science and Technology Progress Award, Guangdong Environmental Protection Science and Technology Award, and Technology Innovation Award of China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fair. He currently serves as the editor for Journal of Environmental Management and executive editor for Current Research in Biotechnology and is the member of International Water Association, International Bioprocessing Association, International Ecological Economy Promotion Association, and Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences. Researchers who commit to wastewater treatment and resource recovery are more than welcome to join his team.
