Biography
Dr. Viktor Kochkodan graduated from Kyiv National University, Ukraine, and received his PhD in the field of modified polymeric membranes for water treatment applications in 1988. He later served at the Institute of Colloid and Water Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the University of Nottingham (UK), and Swansea University (UK).
Dr. Kochkodan has experience in the use of reverse osmosis, nano-, ultra- and microfiltration for water purification from different organic and inorganic pollutants. The obtained results have been published in five invited book chapters, more than 120 papers in peer-refereed journals, and 15 patents.
