معرفی
Dr. Jongho Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC), part of the Faculty of Applied Science. He leads the CLEAN Lab (Clean-Energy and -Water Nanotechnology), focusing on solving challenges in the water-energy nexus through advanced membrane technologies. His research integrates disciplines like separation science, nanotechnology, and material engineering.
Education: PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT (2014), postdoc at Yale University, and B.S./M.S. from Seoul National University. Awards include the New Frontier Research Funds (2021) for artificial tree projects and recognition for membrane science contributions.
Research Interests: Membranes for water treatment, resource recovery (energy, biochemicals), desalination, electrokinetics, and biomimetic systems. His lab develops omniphobic membranes, vapor-gap systems, and scalable solutions for hypersaline wastewater and energy harvesting.
Awards highlight his innovation: 2021 CoLab grant for artificial trees, MIT’s Pappalardo Fellowship (2008), and top honors from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Recent projects include a 2024 research day collaboration on artificial trees, student mentorship (e.g., Hiroki’s 2024 dissertation), and publications on anti-fouling membranes and solar-driven water harvesting. His work bridges academia and industry via partnerships like the Clean Energy Research Centre.
