Associate Professor Philip Kwong has made significant contributions in the field of sustainable waste management and resource recovery from waste biomass to support the growth of future industries around circular economy goals. He has extensive experience in air pollution control, waste management, catalysis, and biomass energy generation. He is particularly interested in converting waste materials into value-added functional products for environmental mitigations and energy generations.Philip is the Associate Head of School (Internationalisation) at the School of Chemical Engineering. He has published more than 60 articles in high-impact journals, peer reviewed conferences, and technical reports. Over 90% of the publications are in the top journals in his field. He was also awarded a prestigious invitation fellowship by the Japan Society for Promotion of Science for recovering valuable resources from sewage sludge. Philip’s world-leading expertise in resource recovery from biomass has recently been transferred into international patents. This has led to his establishment of a technology start-up company (http://www.bygen.com.au) that has attracted more than $1.5M investment since 2018. Philip’s pioneered technology has been utilised around Australia in different industries to produce low-cost carbon materials from various waste agricultural resources. His technology has been named as one of the “10 Australian inventions equipping us for the future” by The Brilliant.

Research interests:  Biochar, biomass combustion, battery recycling, metal extraction, waste management.

Research and development in sustainable energy and waste management system, including biomass combustion, pyrolysis and gasification with expertise in flue gas and synthesis gas analysis, biochar characterisation and utilisation of biochar for carbon sequestration and environmental applications. Dr Kwong also works in air pollution control and building energy efficiency. He has developed an energy efficient air purification system using catalytic combustion and adsorption for both industrial and domestic applications.
