DESCRIPTION:\nAbstract:\n\n\n\nA sustainable global economy necessitates the hyper-efficient utilization of limited resources (water\, food\, and energy)\, while minimizing environmental footprints. Dr. Tong’s research program advances the frontiers of sustainable chemistry and bioresource engineering by integrating novel self-assembly methodologies\, fundamental reaction mechanistic exploration\, and transformative artificial intelligence (AI) frameworks. Her research focuses on resolving the interconnected systems in the FEW nexuses through 1) developing advanced sensors/devices for in-line\, highly accurate\, and abundant data collection for water reclaiming\, food quality surveillance\, and nutrient tracing. 2) integrating unified physics-machine learning (ML) hybrid models for prediction\; 3) applying efficient RL algorithms to train optimal policies for system control and operations for sustainable processes. By bridging molecular-level discovery with system-level optimization\, these technologies provide scalable solutions to enhance the circular bioeconomy and ensure long-term resource resilience.\n\n\n\n\nLearn more here\n\n\n\n\n\nVirtual option available\n\n\n\n\n\n
