An Ninh Pham

Dr. An Ninh Pham serves as a Lecturer and Research Fellow at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, where he is affiliated with the UNSW Water Research Centre. His academic position combines teaching responsibilities with active research in environmental chemistry and engineering. Based at the Vallentine Annexe (H22), Room 108 on the Kensington Campus, he maintains an active research program that bridges environmental science and biomedical applications.

Dr. Pham's research spans multiple interconnected domains focused on metal chemistry in natural and engineered systems. His primary interests include the geochemistry of iron in natural systems, kinetic modeling of chemical reactions, acid sulfate soils, groundwater modeling, and water treatment processes. His work demonstrates particular expertise in understanding the redox behavior of transition metals like iron and copper, with significant implications for both environmental remediation and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. He has established a distinctive research trajectory connecting environmental chemistry with biomedical applications, particularly in understanding the role of metal chemistry in Parkinson's disease pathology.

Analysis of Dr. Pham's publication record reveals a strong focus on metal redox chemistry, particularly involving iron and copper systems. His research demonstrates consistent evolution from fundamental chemical kinetics to practical environmental applications and biomedical connections. A significant portion of his work examines the interplay between dopamine, iron, and copper in contexts relevant to both environmental systems and neurodegenerative diseases. His recent publications show expanding interests in water treatment technologies, advanced oxidation processes, and computational approaches to environmental problems.

Dr. Pham maintains an active collaboration network with researchers at UNSW, particularly with Professor T. David Waite, as evidenced by their extensive co-authorship across multiple publications spanning more than two decades. His research has appeared in high-impact journals across environmental science, chemistry, and neuroscience disciplines, demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of his work.
