Dr. Siwei Gu is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Notre Dame, where he works on environmental challenges using advanced materials and separation technologies, with a focus on contaminant removal and functional membrane development. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Ottawa, where he combined experimental and modeling approaches to investigate pollutant removal using membranes and biomass-based materials. He has published in leading journals such as Journal of Hazardous Materials and Chemical Engineering Journal. His academic interests span environmental technologies, sustainable materials, and interdisciplinary solutions for water and soil quality improvement. Dr. Gu will join China University of Geosciences as an Assistant Professor at the end of 2025.
