Biography

• BSc, Geodesy, Wuhan University, P. R. China.
• MSc, Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark.
• PhD, Environmental Engineering, University of Sheffield, UK.

Zuansi is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Source Area Bio-REmediation (SABRE). He worked as a Research Assistant in solid waste treatment in Denmark before moving to Sheffield for his PhD in 2002. His research interests include the modelling of reactive transport in groundwater, zero-valent iron Fracture Reactive Barrier (Fe0-FRB) technology, statistical assessment of groundwater restoration techniques, and the reuse of treated solid waste.

Current research interests

Project portfolio

• Geostatistical method for performance assessment of enhanced TCE NAPL dissolution via stimulated biodegradation (SABRE project).
• Uncertainty and sensitivity analyse of restoration modelling.
• Modelling of Zero-valent iron fracture reactive barrier in fracture aquifers.
