Jiangning Wu serves as a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University, where she conducts pioneering research in advanced oxidation technologies for environmental applications. Her work addresses critical global water challenges through innovative engineering solutions.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in Chemical Engineering from University of Windsor (1992)
- MSc in Chemical Engineering from Nanjing University of Technology (1985)
- BSc in Chemical Engineering from Nanjing University of Technology (1982)
Professor Wu's research centers on ozonation-based wastewater treatment, specializing in the removal of persistent pollutants like naphthenic acids and synthetic dyes. She develops advanced mass balance models and control systems for continuous ozonation processes, with applications extending to polymer surface modification and renewable energy systems. Her work bridges fundamental chemical reaction engineering with practical environmental remediation, driven by her personal commitment to solving water scarcity issues inherited from her experiences during China's Cultural Revolution.
Analysis of her 2015-2019 publications reveals a consistent focus on optimizing ozonation for industrial wastewater, particularly targeting non-biodegradable compounds in oil sands and textile effluents. Her research demonstrates strong integration of mathematical modeling with experimental validation, emphasizing scalable solutions for real-world water treatment challenges.
Professor Wu actively mentors engineering students and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Chemical and Process Engineering. Her teaching portfolio includes core chemical engineering courses such as Thermodynamics I, Heat Transfer, and Transport Phenomena, where she imparts both technical knowledge and her philosophy of collaborative problem-solving for environmental sustainability.
