Biography
Syed Salman Ali Shah is an Assistant Professor at the Center for Water Research, Advanced Institute of Natural Sciences, Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai, China. He earned his PhD in Environmental and Energy Engineering from Kyungpook National University, South Korea, in 2023, with co-advisement from the Technical University of Denmark. Before joining Beijing Normal University, Dr. Shah was a visiting researcher at the University of British Columbia, Canada, where he worked on fluorine-free omniphobic & Janus membranes for hypersaline wastewater treatment. His research integrates materials science, biocatalysis, and advanced membrane engineering to tackle fouling challenges in water treatment systems, facilitate resource recovery, and enhance energy efficiency. He collaborates internationally with institutions in South Korea, Canada, Denmark, and China, bridging fundamental discoveries in AI/data-driven functional membranes & materials with scalable applications in water treatment.
