Research Engineer: Ching-Chieh Lin, Ph.D.

Dr. Ching-Chieh Lin is a research engineer in the Center for Advances in Water and Air Quality at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University. He received his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Utah in 2016.

He has served as teaching assistant from 2010-2014 for Water Chemistry Analysis Lab Class. His research interests include water and wastewater treatment, membrane technology, membrane bioreactor (MBR), ozonation, pressure cycle technology, bioenergy, algal biofuel and algae harvest.

He also served in Engineers Without Borders at the University of Utah to contribute his wastewater treatment knowledge and received a national award funded by EPA, P3 (People, Prosperity and the Planet). Dr. Lin’s research has been reflected by several peer-reviewed and conference publications, especially membrane technology and algal biofuel

Cao

Research Scientist: Tingting Cao, Ph.D.

Dr. Tingting Cao is a research scientist at the Center for Advances in Water and Air Quality at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University. She received her Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Texas Tech University in 2016, and during that time gained 5-years of experience teaching general and analytical chemistry while also serving as a research assistant.

Dr. Cao has expertise in air quality studies, focusing on both laboratory and field experiments for understanding optical and chemical properties of atmospheric aerosols and monitoring of airborne pollutants and trace gases.

Her work has led to the development of new methods for the characterization of black carbon and mineral dust as well as the design, assemblage and construction of portable and inexpensive devices for environmental analysis (i.e., smartphone sun photometer, ozone and PM2.5 sensors for human exposure monitoring).

Dr. Cao has published 7 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals and has presented her research at several international conferences of AAAR, AMS, PITTCON, etc.
