Research
Dr. Sun's interests are driven by the desire to understand the role of microbes and manage microbial processes to provide service to interdisciplinary nexus of waste (water)-environment-sustainability. Dr. Sun's researches aim to explore the interfaces between microbiological processes and their practical applications to solve environmental problems.
- Environmental biotechnology for the treatment of hazardous pollutants in water, wastewater and sediment
- Bioremediation of soil and groundwater contamination
- Integrated solid waste disposal and management with a specific emphasis on biological and chemical processes in landfills that influence the fate of municipal and industrial wastes and landfills behavior
- Environmental application of molecular microbial biology in natural and engineered ecosystems
- Environmental health and safety impacts of engineered materials
