Biography

Dr Guangxue Wu is a Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering supported by Galway University Foundation at the National University of Ireland Galway. Before joining in NUI Galway in January, 2021, he worked as an assistant professor (2010-2014) and an associate professor (2014-2020) in Shenzhen International Graduate School, Tsinghua University, China. During July-September, 2016, he was a guest associate professor in Kyoto University, Japan.  

In previous 10 years, he won more than 17 million CNY of industrial, national and international funding, and acted as PI for more than 20 projects. His research activities cover basic research, technology development and policy support, with expertise in biological wastewater treatment, direct interspecies electron transfer in anaerobic digestion systems, autotrophic nitrogen removal, and sustainable development. He has co-authored over 170 peer-reviewed journal papers, one monograph, and 4 book chapters. He has received more than 17 professional awards, including several state and association science and technology awards in China.  

He works actively in standard development both nationally and internationally. Specifically, he was the convener for the ISO standard: Water reuse in urban areas — Guidelines for centralized water reuse system — Part 1: Design principle of a centralized water reuse system (ISO 20760-1: 2018), and received the ISO excellence award in June, 2020 in recognition of his valuable contribution.
