LIU Xin

Research Fellow School of Environmental Science and Engineering

Dr. Liu received his bachelor's degree from Shandong University (China) in 2009. He got his master's degree and Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) in 2010 and 2015 respectively. He worked as a research assistant and later a postdoctoral researcher in Singapore Membrane Technology Centre (SMTC) since 2014 and has been working in the field of membrane technology for almost 10 years. His research focuses on novel membrane fabrication, applications of nanomaterials in membrane fabrication, membrane fouling and characterization, and membrane separation processes for desalination and water reuse. His work has yield 18 peer-reviewed papers (citation: 550, h-index: 12) and 2 patent applications.
