Yitin (Ed) Wang’s research focuses on biodegradation and biotransformation of environmental pollutants. He and his graduate students have investigated the removal efficiencies of various bioreactors systems in the laboratory for a range of organic and inorganic contaminants. The performance of these processes is mathematically modeled using biokinetics, molecular diffusion, and mass transfer as well as reactor configuration.
