Saad Jasim

Saad Jasim is an Adjunct Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Windsor, specializing in water treatment technologies. His research focuses on advanced oxidation processes, ozone applications, and mitigating contaminants like cyanotoxins, arsenic, and manganese in drinking water systems. He collaborated with the City of White Rock, BC, Canada, to develop effective groundwater treatment strategies addressing public health risks.

Key contributions include studies on ozone-based systems for virus inactivation (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), cyanotoxin removal in the Detroit River, and optimizing wastewater treatment plants for emerging contaminants. His work integrates environmental engineering principles with public health considerations, emphasizing sustainable solutions for water quality challenges.

• Awards: Paul Harris Fellow (Rotary Club of White Rock, 2020)
• Focus Areas: Ozone applications, advanced oxidation, waterborne pathogen control, and community-based water solutions

Research extends to life cycle assessments of water treatment processes and evaluating emerging contaminants like pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the Great Lakes region.
