Course Objective

This short course empowers you to manage environmental sustainability projects and examines the practices of leadership in environmental innovation for economic and sustainable development sector by exploring several key themes and topics. These include environmental economic; environmental pollution and control; climate change; water crisis; solid and toxic waste, relationship between economy and sustainability. New innovation potential impacts on economic activities and enterprise including nanomaterials, nanobubble, 3D printing nanotechnology for NEWater/renewable energy production, industrial wastewater reclamation, CO2 for value-added product generation, and healthy longevity application.

This course is to shape the future leadership in environmental economic and sustainable management sectors. This course is to nurture a passion for innovation and leadership in environment economic sustainability.

Course Outline

The course will be conducted in 4 sessions of 2-hours duration each.

About the Instructor

Darren Sun obtained his PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from The University of New South Wales, Australia in 1993. He is an international renowned scientist and engineer in the field of nano materials and 3D printing membrane for sustainable water and energy applications. Darren has published more than 220 scientific publications on various prestigious high impact journals with citation/h-index: 17316/69. His TiO2 nanofiber research was highlighted in the October 2006 issue of Nature.

Over the past 30 years, Darren has been engaged by various multi-international companies and government agencies as a professional consultant or advisor for engineering projects. Darren is an International Water Associate (IWA) Fellow, International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) Fellow, Editor-in-Chief Explora: Environment and Resource and Editor for Journal of Chemistry. He was invited to chair the Shimizu Programme with the title of Shimizu Visiting Professor at Environmental Engineering and Science Program, Stanford University, USA. Top-2% scientist list by Stanford University (2022, 2023 & 2024). Darren was the recipient of more than 10 National and international awards including “Best Innovation and Emerging Enterprise Awards, Singapore, 2021.”

Darren was encouraged by international communities to commercialise nano materials and 3D printing technology for membrane fabrication. This includes the invited discussion at George Marshall Conference Room at the State Department, Washington DC, on “How to deploy nano and 3D printing technologies to the market” in 2014. Taking research and development technology from Nanyang Technological University, and strong support from EDB Singapore to market. Darren took the initiative to form the commercial entity of Nanosun Pte Ltd. Today, Nanosun’s nano 3D Printed Membrane was chosen as a Top 5 technology at the 2019 Global Water Summit Technology Competition, and Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Water Membrane Innovation Award in 2015.
