Esteban Miño

Esteban Miño serves as Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Sciences at Lakeland University Japan, affiliated with the Batten & Black School of Int'l Studies. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering with specialization in Green Process Engineering from Hiroshima University (2007).

Dr. Miño's research focuses on environmental chemistry and water treatment technologies, with particular expertise in PFAS decomposition, calcium accumulation on Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), and environmental monitoring systems. His work bridges chemical engineering principles with practical environmental applications, especially in water purification and pollution control.

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on advanced water treatment methods, particularly photochemical decomposition of persistent pollutants like perfluorooctanoic acid and optimization of GAC systems for landfill leachate treatment. The research spans from fundamental chemical processes to real-world environmental monitoring applications in regions like the Caribbean.

Dr. Miño has established a research trajectory centered on sustainable water treatment solutions, with publications appearing in reputable journals including Journal of Hazardous Materials, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, and Journal of Water and Environment Technology.
