个人简介
Prof Evans Martin Nkhalambayausi Chirwa is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Pretoria, where he researches advanced water treatment for application in water reclamation and creation of new water. He holds the following degrees: BSc (Civil Engineering) from the University of Malawi, MSc (Civil Engineering) and PhD (Civil Engineering from the University of Kentucky (USA).
During his tenure at the University of Pretoria, he has published 220 papers in peer-reviewed journals, over 144 papers in peer-reviewed conference proceedings, and 12 book chapters. In addition, he has produced 26 PhD and 52 MSc/MEng graduates in the past sixteen years. He has served as an invited keynote speaker at AIDIC, IWA and other international conferences. He currently serves as editor for the acclaimed international water research journal Water Science and Technology, published by the International Water Association (IWA) Publishers in the United Kingdom.
Based on his work on biological analogues in advanced water treatment and water recovery with applications in metal-halide heterogeneous photocatalysis, Prof Chirwa won the 2022 National Science and Technology Forum (NSTF) Award in the category – Water Research Commission Award. In 2021 he was elected as a Senior Fellow of the Water Institute of Southern Africa (SFWISA) based on the impact of his work on the South African water sector in research, governance and human capacity building.
His most recent projects include: (i) the newly funded NRF Awarded project on Biogenic Catalytic Anode and Air-Cathode configured Microbial Fuel Cells with reduced internal resistance using marine electrogenic bacteria, and projects on solar photocatalysis, (ii) black Titanium dioxide (TiO2) 3D graphene oxide solar desalination of seawater and (iii) recovery of clean water from brackish water using the low/zero-energy Forward Osmosis (FO) membrane process. His projects are geared towards resolving the water, energy and pollution problems in a world faced with rapid population growth, urban immigration and rural-peri urban development – which result in increased water demand and degradation of water quality in local water bodies.
The inter- and trans-disciplinary programme he established in the Water and Environmental Engineering Programme at the University of Pretoria has resulted in a fast-growing doctoral and master’s programme. This resulted in the establishment and expansion of international collaboration with participation from several local and international Universities and research centres.
Prof Chirwa is currently a C2 NRF-rated researcher in South Africa and is registered to practice as a Professional Engineer in the Maryland State Board of Engineers (USA), and Engineering Council of South Africa (South Africa).
