Dr. Po-Heng (Henry) Lee

Dr. Po-Heng (Henry) Lee

Imperial College London, UK

Po-Heng (Henry) Lee's team specialises in resource recovery, greenhouse gas reduction, and enhancing human health through the application of environmental technologies, including anaerobic sewage treatment, anaerobic digestion, fermentation, and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox), and water reuse for a cooling system in the AI centre and semiconductor manufacturing applications. His research and teaching have primarily focused on three key areas: 1) overcoming classical energetics limitations by enhancing electron transfer efficiency, via hopping and tunnelling, 2) applying quantum information theory to microbial metabolism and gene regulation, and 3) water reuse and cooling system optimisation—both within Water Centres and in semiconductor manufacturing applications

Dr. Muhammad Shafique

Dr. Muhammad Shafique

Brunel University London, UK

Dr. Muhammad Shafique is currently a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences at Brunel University London, Since May 2022. Prior to this, he was a Postdoc fellow in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. He received his Ph.D. degree in Architecture and Civil Engineering from the City University of Hong Kong and M.S in Smart City and Construction Engineering from the University of Science and Technology, South Korea. Dr. Shafique’s research uses life cycle assessment, circular economy, and scenario modeling to identify the environmental problems of emerging products and systems. Historically, our society has taken a reactionary approach to the environment. By proactively understanding the environmental issues of technologies that are still under development, we can identify a greater number of optimal options and innovative solutions to avoid or reduce negative consequences. Shafique works on interdisciplinary topics including sustainable construction and transportation systems, green buildings, building information modeling (BIM), carbon-neutrality, sustainable design of energy systems, advanced fuels, sustainable and smart materials, machine learning, energy, environment & economics nexus, and climate change adaptation. One of his core areas of work includes developing an integrated modeling approach based on life cycle assessment and circular economy for sustainable construction and urban mobility. Looking forward, Dr. Shafique is determined to fight against climate change and reduce the carbon footprint of the civil and transportation industry as the key considerations while enabling a high level of sustainability and well-being for users.
