Welcome to Environmental Science & Engineering (ESE) at The National University of Singapore (NUS). The University has a commitment to be a globally-oriented university. It participates with students and faculty at leading public and private universities in the world in being a key node in a global knowledge network in education, research and innovation. NUS aspires to be a dynamic community with a “no walls” culture and a spirit of enterprise, which promotes the free flow of ideas and builds synergies between the processes of creating, imparting and exploiting knowledge.
Join us in this enterprise and global network!
This is what I have recently done in January 2007 in joining NUS as a Professor and Head of ESE. Come assist in designing the Environment of Tomorrow as we provide cutting-edge insights into the fundamentals of science and engineering and the physical chemical and biological processes that describe the environmental systems of the globe.
We educate students at the BS, MS and PhD levels and seek bright minds, creative souls and inquisitive individuals at all levels. We encourage students to participate in exploratory research and experiential learning throughout their time with us at this full-service, comprehensive public university.
Are you interested in aerosol science and technology; air pollution assessment and control; climate change? Come join us in our pursuits in these areas.
How about environmental chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology & biotechnology; human & environmental health; nano-biotechnology & nano-materials; sensor systems in air, land & water; and separation science and technologies? We are working and educating students in these areas.
Want to explore energy resources, conservation and alternatives and renewable energy or consider investigation of industrial ecology? Come to ESE at NUS!
We also investigate areas of hazardous and solid waste; marine & coastal systems; membrane separations & technologies; water quality and treatment; wastewater reclamation and reuse; and water resources in ESE.
The Division of Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE) at the NUS Faculty of Engineering provides an interdisciplinary program that brings together the environmental sciences and fundamentals of engineering to produce graduates at all levels we aspire to be leaders of the profession.
ESE emphasizes a multi-disciplinary approach to solving complex environmental problems. The overall objective of the program is to impart to students a sound scientific knowledge, combined with advanced engineering capabilities, so that they understand the local, regional and international environmental issues. ESE provides opportunities for development of innovative and appropriate technologies and systems to address these issues. In recognition of the intimate link between science and engineering, both the undergraduate and graduate curricula are designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes underlying environmental science and engineering.
ESE promotes unique research and educational opportunities in all aspects of air, land and water systems and the pursuit of inorganic and organic components that present threats to environmental and human systems. We have opportunities in many areas and pursue research and education in:
-

Faculty members and research staff of ESE are engaged in basic and applied research. These activities include all of the relevant environmental media - air, water, and soil and embedded in each would be the capability investigate the science behind the problems in the three media. In its focus areas, ESE adopts a comprehensive, holistic view when attempting to solve complex environmental problems.
The faculty members’ research activities are a reflection of the expertise of its faculty members, who are multi-national, highly trained, and well regarded in both academia and the industrial sector. ESE has a commitment to facilitate interaction and collaborations among researchers, students, and industry. In research, this interaction allows faculty members to undertake translational engineering so as to facilitate the effective transfer of research findings to the industry. ESE faculty members have a good record of successful technology transfers to the industry.
State-of-the-art laboratory facilities permit computer modeling, and laboratory experiments and the integration of both. This is augmented with opportunities for students to work on pilot- and full-scale test facilities. Undergraduate students are encouraged to actively engage in research projects, together with postgraduate students and faculty members to gain “hands-on experience” in the research and development of new technologies.
Environmental problems are some of the most complex, challenging, and pressing issues that are of concern to policy makers. Achieving environmental sustainability is a key priority for Singapore and the world. ESE is committed to providing excellence in education and research and preparing young environmental scientists and engineers for leadership positions in academia and industrial research and development.
