About

Prof. Dr. C. Shreeshivadasan is currently a Professor at the Department of Engineering, Razak Faculty of Technology and Informatics and a Research Fellow at the Centre for Environmental Sustainability and Water Security (IPASA), UTM. He received his PhD in Environmental Engineering in 2006 from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. His PhD research was on the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater containing macrolide antibiotic using anaerobic digester. He obtained his Masters and Bachelor degree from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in the field of Chemical and Environmental Engineering in 1995 and 1997, respectively. His interests are largely concerned with the control of pollutants in the environment in relation to industrial wastewater using anaerobic process. Specifically, his research is more concentrated towards the control of pollutants from various wastewater such as pharmaceutical, paper mill, textile, landfill leachate and palm oil mill effluents. His latest project was the treatment of textile wastewater using modified anaerobic baffled reactor and treatment of landfill leachate using anaerobic stage reactor (ASR) combined with a membrane bioreactor (MBR) for the removal of selected micro-pollutants. He is very much active in the national and international arena promoting environmental awareness and the concept of sustainability. He is a committee member of the Malaysian Water Association (MWA) and Malaysian Water Academy (MyWA) under the section of industrial research and development. He is also the Editor-in-Chief for Malaysian Journal of Water published by the MWA. He has produced more than 100 research articles and conference proceedings in the field of environmental engineering, particularly using the anaerobic reactors.
