Natural Organic Matter in Water

Mika Sillanpää’s research work centers on chemical treatment in environmental engineering and environmental monitoring and analysis. The recent research focus has been on the resource recovery from waste streams. Sillanpää received his M.Sc. (Eng.) and D.Sc. (Eng.) degrees from the Aalto University where he also completed an MBA degree in 2013. Since 2000, he has been a full professor/adjunct professor at the University of Oulu, the University of Eastern Finland, the LUT University, the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Johannesburg. Dr. Yuri Park completed her PhD degree at Queensland University of Technology, Australia in 2013 and obtained her Post-doctoral fellowship at Dalhousie University with Centre of Water Resources and Studies. Currently, she is appointed as an assistant professor in DGC, at LUT University and throughout her academic and research career. Her main research areas are the synthesis of sustainable nanomaterials and their application for environmental remediation, water quality analysis, and development of water treatment techniques such adsorption, extraction and AOPs including UV, Ozone, and photo(electro)catalysis, analytical method development/validation, and chemical analysis of environmental contaminants in various matrices,. She has published more than 25 articles in the past six years in international journals in the fields of chemistry, material science, earth and planetary science, and environmental science and engineering.
