This seminar is part of the International Forum on Advanced Environmental Sciences and Technology (iFAST) seminar series. iFAST aims to provide an interactive forum to bring eminent scientists together to share their most recent advances in environmental sciences and technology with interested students, faculty, and other researchers. It also provides an opportunity to foster interdisciplinary networking among environmental researchers, engineers, and the general audience.
