Stuart Khan

Professor Stuart Khan is Head of School and Professor in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney. He has secured funding for over 40 major competitive research projects and published over 200 peer-reviewed papers on water quality and treatment. His research encompasses drinking water, wastewater, recreational water systems, water recycling, and desalination.

Research focuses on:

• Advanced water treatment technologies
• Fate and transport of contaminants
• Water recycling safety frameworks
• Sustainable sludge management practices
• Emerging contaminant remediation

Publication analysis reveals strong focus on PFAS remediation, nature-based water treatment systems, wastewater epidemiology, and sustainable sludge management across international contexts. Recent work increasingly employs machine learning and Bayesian modeling for water quality prediction.
