Title: Comparative influence of electrochemically active biofilms on biodegradation mechanism of recalcitrant contaminant in Bioelectrochemical system
Biography
Huzairy Hassan has completed his
PhD in the year 2017 at the age of 32 years from the University of Adelaide,
Australia. He is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Chemical Engineering
Technology, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Malaysia. He is specializing in
biochemical engineering field which focuses on the bioelectrochemical system/microbial
fuel cell and wastewater treatment technology. He has published more than 20
papers in reputed journals and conferences. He is currently pursuing a
postdoctoral study at the Universiti Sains Malaysia, concentrating on the development
of adsorbent materials by pyrolysis of biomass for emerging contaminants removal.
He is also interested in investigating the roles of bacterial biofilms or
specifically known as electrochemically active biofilms (EABs) that convert
chemicals to electrical current on electrodes. His near future research
direction is the study on the unique characteristics of EABs that can be
analysed using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, microscopy, cyclic
and linear sweep voltammetry, polarization curves, coulombic efficiency and
flow cytometry methods. He likes to spend time gardening with his family in the
yard of his village house in Kangar, Perlis.
