Department of Chemistry
Dr. Dimitra Lambropoulou, (Environmental Pollution Control Laboratory), has extensive experience in project management (>20 Industrial, National and European projects) and is an expert on advanced Mass Spectrometry Techniques such as High Resolution Mass Spectrometry for the determinatio of Emerging contaminants (PPCPs) in the environment as well as on Advanced Oxidation Processes.
Dr. Dimitrios Bikiaris, (Laboratory of Chemistry and Technology of Polymers and Dyes), has extensive experience on biobased and biocompadiple polymers as well as on synteshis of composite and nanocomposite materials for the treatment of waters and wastewaters by different processes (e.g. sorption, photocatalysis).
International Hellenic University
Dr. George Kyzas, (Hephaestus Laboratory), has extensive experience on synthesis of various nanomaterials (inorganic, aluminates, polymers, graphenes, agro-food residues, etc.) for the treatment of wastewaters (dyes, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, phenols, oil-spills, etc).
Hephaestus is an advanced research lab within Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Institute of Technology (EMMATECH), worth more than €10,000,000 and comprising three main sections:
Material science that covers the area of porous materials, from synthesis to characterization and from nanotechnology to oil & gas reservoir engineering (catalysis, membrane technology, flow in porous media are some examples)
Electrical engineering that specializes on remote electrical measurements
Mechanical engineering that covers metrology, robotics, and renewable energy systems

Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU)
Dr. Xin Yang is now a professor at the School of Environmental Science and Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University. She received a B.S. in Environmental Science from Nankai University in 2002 and obtained her M.Phil. and Ph.D. degree in Environmental Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology at 2004 and 2007, respectively. She was a postdoctoral fellow, working with Prof. Philip C. Singer at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between 2007 and 2009. She joined Sun Yat-sen University in 2010. She has published over 80 SCI papers and got National Funds for Distinguished Young Scientists in 2016. Her research focuses on the formation mechanisms and control strategies of disinfection byproducts in water treatment and the fate of emerging micropollutants in aqueous environments.
