Research theme and outline

Fate of waterborne pathogens for the microbiological safety of drinking water supply systems

His research area includes behavior of waterborne pathogens (i.e. viruses, bacteria, protozoa) in drinking water sources and treatment processes in normal times and even in extreme weather events, such as flooding and water shortage which may become larger or more frequent with climate change, and quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) and risk management for the microbiological safety of drinking water supply systems.
