Sanaz Orandi
School of Chemical Engineering
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
I am an Environmental Scientist/Geologist, and hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering, specialising in water treatment technologies. I am very passionate about environmental challenges, exploring sustainable remedies for contaminated lands and water.
My experience is gained through working with industry and academic institutions, collaborating with research organizations, (e.g. Research & Development centre at Sarcheshmeh copper mine, the largest porphyry copper mine in Iran and Middle East), and supervising research students and PhD candidates at the University of Adelaide.
I am also an experienced health and safety professional at the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences.
