Abstract
In May 2017, it was a great privilege to assume the role of Editor-in-Chief of Energy & Environment succeeding Dr Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen. I am fortunate to be supported by Justine Hope as Managing Editor as well as her team. On behalf of our authors, reviewers and readers, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Boehmer-Christiansen for her significant commitments and editorship of EAE for 19 years. I wish her and outgoing editorial board members the very best of luck in all of their future endeavours!
It might be helpful to provide a brief introduction for those of you who do not yet know me. I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Science and Environmental Studies at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), Hong Kong. I received my BEng and PhD in Environmental Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). I further worked as a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to joining EdUHK, I was a Research Fellow in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at PolyU. Currently, I serve as Associate Editor for Water Environment Research (Water Environment Federation) and RSC Advances (Royal Society of Chemistry), Subject Editor for Process Safety and Environmental Protection (Elsevier), and Editorial Board Member of Chemical Engineering Journal (Elsevier) and Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy (Springer). I have been also appointed as Adjunct Professor in Guizhou Academy of Sciences, China. My research interests include water and wastewater treatment, resource recovery from waste and wastewater, and microbial CO2 fixation.
