Professor Greg Lawrence Leslie is a leading academic in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of New South Wales. His research focuses on water recycling, membrane processes, and sustainable engineering solutions for water treatment and environmental challenges. He leads a team of researchers addressing water and nutrient recycling, biofuels, and meat abattoir applications through experimental and computational modeling.
Education details are not explicitly provided, but his career includes roles such as Lead Process Designer for Singapore's NEWater System (2001–2003) and membership in prestigious bodies like the Institute of Chemical Engineers. He has advised over 4 PhD and 3 Master’s students and currently supervises 5 PhD candidates and 2 postdocs. His teaching includes capstone design projects and process design courses.
Research interests emphasize reducing environmental footprints in water, food, and biofuel sectors. Key projects include climate mitigation water requirements, Indigenous community water security in Walgett, and global water policy analysis. His work often intersects policy, technology, and community engagement, as seen in collaborations like the Australia-Vietnam Water Utilities Twinning Program.
Notable awards include the Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Water Innovation (2010) and recognition for technical papers from the American Desalting Association. He has contributed to WHO desalination guidelines and served on national and international water policy committees.
Grants include an Australian Research Council Discovery Project (2013–2016) on membrane characterization and an Australia-India Strategic Research Fund project (2012–2015) for biorefinery waste systems. His lab focuses on advancing membrane technologies and computational fluid dynamics in water systems.
