Environmental chemical engineering research areas

The blue group reported its analysis of interfaces as a matrix in which the rows are a series of environmentally important chemistry and chemical engineering research areas, and the columns are the other disciplines that will participate in the research activity (Table G-2). 

Wan-Ying Shiu is a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, and the Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Toronto. She received her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, M.Sc. in Physical Chemistry from St. Francis Xavier University, and B.Sc. in Chemistry from Hong Kong Baptist College. Her research interest is in the area of physical-chemical properties and thermodynamics for organic chemicals of environmental concern.
