Adewale GiwaDr. Giwa is currently an Assistant Professor of Chemical and Water Desalination Engineering at the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The University of Sharjah is ranked first in the United rab Emirates in the Times Higher Education's World University Ranking 2023. It is also ranked among the first 100 young universities in the world. Dr. Giwa has co-authored over 70 peer-reviewed publications in journals, books, and conference proceedings. Giwa's works have been cited in over 3,700 publications, according to Google Scholar. He has completed over 160 reviews for journals published by Elsevier, Royal Society of Chemistry, American Chemical Society, Wiley, Springer-Nature, Taylor & Francis, among others. He has received the Outstanding Reviewer Award from many reputable journals. His work has been focused on electrochemical membrane technologies for wastewater treatment, desalination, chemical and energy production, and removal of trace organic contaminants, heavy metal ions, micropollutants, microplastics and other contaminants of emerging concern from polluted water. Dr. Giwa is also interested in technological solutions aimed at circular economy to ensure freshwater sustainability, sustainable desalination, wastewater and sludge reuse, production of alternative chemicals and energy from 'wastes', and advanced modeling. His research has been focused on circular economy solutions including the reuse of desalination brine and sludge from wastewater treatment and the recovery/production of valuable products from other 'wastes'. These valuable products include salts, carotenoids, plastics, biochemicals, biofuels, and energy. He is an advocate of membrane-based, electrochemical and biochemical applications for circular economy. Giwa is recognized in Stanford University's list of Scientists as one of the Top 2% Scientists in the world in 2019-2022. In this list, over 100,000 scientists are recognized for their substantial citation impact based on the Scopus database, which includes over 8 million scientists considered to be active across 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. Inclusion in this list is therefore one of the most prestigious forms of recognition for scientists across different fields. Read More Read Less
