Work Experience
Research Assistant, University of Alberta, November 2012 – Present
Solar UV/Chlorine process treatment of t oxic oil sands process-affected water (OSPW)
In partnership with Syncrude
Prepared and presented project proposal including survey methodologies, system
design drawings and testing procedures for bench and pilot scale, and desired
outcome (e.g., aquatic toxicity and health impact) to the PI and the funding agency.
Conducted bench-scale treatment study including OSPW characterization, process
optimization (mainly for UV exposure time and NaClO dose), data processing and
presenting and report writing.
Estimated capital cost for constructing an approximately 100 m2 in area 6 cm water
depth pilot-scale reactor and operational cost, such as gaseous chlorine and
pumping costs.
Thesis Project, University of Alberta, September 2011 – October 2012
Pilot-scale municipal wastewater reuse project at Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant,
Edmonton In partnership with EPCOR
Completed EPCOR water safety trainings/WHMIS and possessed a strong safety
conscious attitude.
Studied provincial/federal environmental legislation regarding municipal wastewater

discharge and reuse standard .
Conducted water chemistry test including pH, Ca2+, PO43 , NO2 , NO3 , alkalinity,
active chlorine, NH4+, Cl, COD and H2O2 for day-to-day monitoring independently.
Managed multiple tasks including process operation (UV, GAC and membrane),
sample collection, and data analysis/validation in a fast-paced environment.
Analyzed monitoring results based on provincial regulation (QA/QC) and interpreted
data by statistic analysis (ANOVA and T-Test) with graphs or tables by using Excel.
Interpreted acute/chronic aquatic biological toxicity in the treated effluent by
bioassays (e.g., Microtox and EROD) as %Inhibition, IC50, EC50, LD50, etc.
Troubleshot problems of pipeline leaking, valve failure, during field operation as well
as equipment failure in the lab .
Assisted the project manager in writing the project proposals, Emergency Response
Plan as well as Working Protocols.
Waste diversion/disposal course design project September-December 2011
Led a team of four students to conduct two waste audits on site and obtained
supplementary data for design purposes.
Presented waste management design proposal for Edmonton Clinic Health Academy
(ECHA) building for final competition.
Awarded 1st place by The Edmonton Waste Management Centre of Excellence
(EWMCE) for the outstanding design.
