He has over 23 years of teaching and research experience in Chemical Engineering. Dr Sen engaged in undergraduate and post-graduate teaching and learning, supervision, research activities of the Department of Chemical Engineering. His job is also predominantly on undertaken quality research activities including Honours students' supervision and post-graduate student supervision (Higher degree by Research), paper publication, funding for research project. Dr Sen has an excellent track record in the broad field of water research, wastewater treatment, and nutrient removal by struvite crystallization, anaerobic digestion and dewaterability, rheology of colloidal slurry/sludge, groundwater contamination, and adsorption at solid/liquid interface and in the field of separation processes. He has made significant contributions in the field of anaerobic digestion process, colloid and interface and adsorption in water treatment. Currently Dr Sen and his research group developed a novel sludge pre-treatment method which is a combined microwave and ultra-sonication. Compared to all other pre-treatment methods studied (ultra sonication, microwave), this novel method has given the most promising results. Read More Read Less
