Meng Wang is an associate professor of Environmental Systems Engineering at Penn State University. His research focuses on environmental biotechnology, pollution control, resource recovery, and environmental sustainability. He integrates physical-chemical processes with biological methods to enhance system stability and resource recovery efficiencies. Through experimental work and mathematical modeling, he aims to guide the design and operation of treatment systems. His innovative work develops food-energy-water systems that address public health and food security challenges. Wang's notable projects include exploring combined ion exchange and biological processes for treating high ammonium strength wastewaters, such as those from food processing and landfill leachate. He also studies algal-based wastewater treatment, aiming to optimize nutrient management and resource recovery through synergistic interactions among microbial communities. His efforts in bioremediation have focused on degrading common groundwater contaminants, evaluating co-substrates that enhance biodegradation processes. Dr. Wang is dedicated to advancing knowledge in environmental systems engineering to solve pressing environmental issues.
