Title of talk:  Development of “selective” monitoring and treatment technologies for emerging contaminants in water
Abstract： Increased production and use of anthropogenic chemicals led to continuous occurrence of emerging contaminants in water that pose a significant concern to aquatic organisms and human health at concentrations of nanograms to microograms per liter (ng/L to ug/L), which are several orders of magnitude lower than concentrations of more conventionally recognized inorganic and organic constituents in water. To safely manage water containing these emerging contaminants, there is a need for exploring materials and technologies for monitoring and treatment that selectively interact with these emerging contaminants over other constituents. This presentation will cover our recent and ongoing efforts to develop 1) selective monitoring technologies for per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) based on aptasensors and 2) selective treatment technologies for pharmaceutical compounds based on metal catalysts with their surfaced coated with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs).

Biography： Dr. Choe is currently an Associate Professor in  Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Seoul National University in South Korea. He has published more than 30 works in well-known journals. His current research interest lies in 1) application of advanced metal-based catalysis to transform contaminants of emerging concern to environmental benign products and 2) development of novel processes and materials that can supplant current ones with alternatives that have a lower environmental footprint (i.e.,minimal impacts on human health, environmental damages, and resource depletion) and potentially recover embedded resources (i.e., water, energy, nutrition) during the processes.
