About Me
"Charlene Koo is currently an Assistant Professor in Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) of Kuala Lumpur campus. She received her B.Eng (Civil Engineering) and M.Eng (Environmental) from the Technological University of Malaysia (UTM). Her PhD was obtained from the National University of Malaysia (UKM) in 2014. Her research interests are mainly focused on water and wastewater treatment using membrane technology. Besides, she will also plan to venture into the water recycling and reclamation technology using membrane technology particularly for industrial applications."
