Professor Stephen Gray (PhD - Chem Eng),Director.Prof. Gray is currently the Director, Institute of Sustainability and Innovation at Victoria University, where he is responsible for research, education and industry liaison within the water, energy and sustainable buildings sectors. This role requires the development of multi-disciplinary research and has a focus on delivering research outcomes to industry needs.
He was previously team leader of CSIRO Urban Water and has 16 years experience researching water and wastewater treatment and sustainable water systems. He has extensive knowledge in the areas of membrane fouling, chemical coagulation, solid/liquid separation processes, surface chemistry and chemical engineering. He has also participated in the development of water treatment processes, such as MIEX resin and the CDS fine solids separator, assisting in the translation of scientific outcomes into commercial products.
Prof. Gray has also worked in the field of sustainable water systems, focusing on water and contaminant balance modelling and assessment of alternative water systems. This work also provides a framework for identification of where new technologies are likely to be most beneficial.
