Biography

Dr. Jayaprakash Saththasivam graduated with First Class Honors (Mechanical-Aeronautics Engineering) from University Teknologi Malaysia in 2005 and with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Singapore (2011). Before joining Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI), Dr. Saththasivam worked as a Research Scientist at the Water Desalination and Reuse Center, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), and the National University of Singapore. Dr. Saththasivam has received several applied research grants and seed funds during his time in Singapore and Saudi Arabia. Dr. Saththasivam is currently working as a Scientist in QEERI. His primary research focuses on evaluating the performances of ozone and ozone-based Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) in removing micro-organic pollutants from treated sewage effluent. He was also the Lead Principal Investigator of a QNRF-funded Project (NPRP9-159-2-087: Removal of Cyanotoxins in Drinking Water Using Advanced Oxidation Processes).
