Dr. Mario Rebosura serves as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Australian Centre for Water and Environmental Biotechnology (ACE), part of the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology at the University of Queensland. His work bridges fundamental research and practical engineering solutions for sustainable urban water systems.
His academic credentials include:
- Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (2009) from the University of the Philippines Los Banos
- Masters of Engineering in Environmental Engineering (2012) from the Catholic University of Korea
- PhD in Chemical Engineering (2020) from the University of Queensland
Rebosura specializes in integrated urban water management with emphasis on anaerobic technologies and resource recovery. His research investigates iron salt applications throughout urban water cycles, contaminant fate analysis, and advanced wastewater treatment processes. He combines chemical engineering principles with environmental science to develop circular economy solutions that transform waste streams into valuable resources while improving infrastructure resilience.
His publication record reveals consistent focus on optimizing iron-based interventions across the urban water system—from sewer networks to treatment plants—with recent expansion into micropollutant management and enhanced anaerobic digestion. This trajectory demonstrates increasing sophistication in addressing complex water-energy-resource nexus challenges through interdisciplinary experimentation.
Rebosura actively contributes to scholarly discourse as Editor for the International Research Journal on Innovations in Engineering, Science and Technology and as a reviewer for leading water research journals. His conference presentations have generated international recognition through speaking invitations and workshop leadership.
He has secured significant research funding including:
- Australian Research Council project 'An integrated approach to iron salt use in urban water systems' (2014–2019)
- Meat & Livestock Australia initiative 'Wastes to Profits: Advanced Anaerobic Digestion' (2018–2022)
As a core member of ACE, Rebosura leverages world-class facilities for laboratory and pilot-scale water research, collaborating within multidisciplinary teams to advance sustainable water management solutions for global challenges.
