Chungheon Shin

Chungheon Shin is a Lecturer at Stanford University specializing in sustainable wastewater treatment technologies. His research focuses on anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs), microbial electrosynthesis, and resource recovery from wastewater. He has pioneered work on dissolved methane management, sulfide removal in secondary effluent, and energy-positive treatment systems in temperate climates.

• Key Research Themes:
• Biogas upgrading and CO2 mitigation via electroactive microorganisms
• Pilot-scale evaluation of gas-sparged vs. fluidized membrane bioreactors
• Ammonia recovery and embodied energy analysis in domestic wastewater systems

Shin's work emphasizes practical scalability and environmental impact reduction, with publications spanning 2011-2025. He has conducted extensive studies on membrane integrity maintenance, biofouling control, and process optimization for anaerobic systems. His 2018 review article provides critical insights into pilot-scale AnMBR applications.
