Dr. Haoran Wei joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison as an assistant professor in January 2020. Before starting his independent academic career, Wei worked as a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Yale University, where he developed energy-efficient advanced oxidation process for water treatment under the supervision of Professor Jaehong Kim. Before coming to Yale University, Wei obtained his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2018 under the supervision of Professor Peter J. Vikesland, where he developed advanced optical sensors for environmental analysis. In 2013 and 2010, Wei obtained his master’s and bachelor’s degrees both in Environmental Engineering from Tsinghua University and Shandong University, respectively. Wei was the recipient of the Jacobs Engineering Group/AEESP Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award, ACS Envr Ellen Gonter Paper Award, and ACS Envr Graduate Student Award.
Based in the historical Water Science and Engineering Laboratory (WSEL) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Wei’s Environmental Technology Laboratory strives to solve the urgent problems of drinking water pollution using the fundamental physical, chemical, and engineering principles. Current projects include the development of Raman spectroscopy-based sensors for emerging contaminant detection and solar-based technologies for decentralized water treatment. WSEL is located on the southern shore of the beautiful Lake Mendota. It is also the University Core Facility for Water Analysis and possesses the most advanced analytical instrument. To join our team, prospective Ph.D. students can apply for either the Civil and Environmental Engineering or the Environmental Chemistry & Technology Program using the UW–Madison Graduate School online application system.
