Charles CC Lee is a Deputy Program Convenor and Senior Lecturer at the University of Newcastle (Australia) Singapore campus. He has more than 25 years’ experience in environmental research, teaching and consulting in North America, and Asia-Pacific countries. He has soil science degrees from the University of Guelph (BSc) and University of Hawaii (MSc and PhD). At the Agency for Science Technology and Research, he was the lead co-author of a patent for the photocatalytic degradation of halogenated compounds. As an environmental consultant in California, he has worked with State, Federal (military sites) and multinational private sector clients (Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil) to assist them to solve complicated site assessment and remediation issues using the ASTM RBCA approach. Dr Lee has conducted workshops and seminars related specifically to: (a) environmental remediation; (b) environmental impact assessment; and (d) non-point source pollution. Recently, he was invited as a technical expert to conduct a technical workshop on “Risk-based Corrective Action and Bioremediation of Contaminated Sites” for the Chinese Federal Environmental Agency – Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES), Beijing, China

Beni Lew made aliyah to Israel in 1997 and since that time he has been working on environmental treatment systems and their implementation in the agricultural sector. During his Master's and Ph.D. work at the Technion, Beni studied biological systems for domestic wastewater treatment in rural areas in the Middle East region. The systems are characterized by their low energy consumption and emphasis on the re-use of the treated effluent for irrigation. The main topic of Beni's Master's thesis dealt with engineering aspects of anaerobic systems, such as the effects of temperature and retention time. For that, he built and operated two different anaerobic laboratory scale systems- an UASB reactor and hybrid UASB integrated with an anaerobic filter. During the same time, he participated in the operation and data collection of a 5 cubic meter UASB pilot built in Sachnin as part of the International Appropriate Technology Consortium (ATC) project. The results of his Master's thesis were presented in several Israeli and international conferences (England, Turkey and South Africa) and published in established international journals in 2003 and 2004. Due to his expertise in anaerobic systems for domestic wastewater treatment, Beni was invited to be a co-chairman in a session at one of the international conferences.

Hefa Cheng is a tenured associate professor in environmental science at Collee of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University. He received his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a Ph.D. minor in Geological and Environmental Sciences from Stanford University in 2006. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow and a consulting assistant professor at Stanford University between 2006 and 2009. He joined the State Key Laboratory of Organic Geochemistry, Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry as a research professor, supported by the Outstanding Oversea Talent (“One Hundred Talents”) program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009. In 2015, he moved to the College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University as a tenured associate professor. He is the author/co-author of over 100 journal papers including in Nat. Clim. Change, Nat. Commun., Environ. Sci. Technol., Wat. Res., and contributors of two book chapters. He received the SCOPE-Zhongyu Young Scientist Award from the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) in 2012, and Hou Defeng Award from the Chinese Society of Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry in 2014. He serves on the editorial boards of Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, Journal of Hazardous Materials, and Environmental Chemistry (China). His research focuses on understanding the mechanism of organic pollutant degradation on natural minerals, developing mineral-based treatment for destruction of organic pollutants, as well as on developing novel approaches for apportioning the sources of heavy metal pollution in surface soils.
