Dr Woo Yissue joined SCELSE as a Research Fellow under Prof Stefan Wuertz’s supervision in the Environmental Engineering Cluster. He specializes in Microbiology in water sources, disinfection of microorganisms in water environments, and the analysis of microbial communities in environments. He was awarded a Ph.D. under the program of IGS-Sustainable Earth at the Interdisciplinary Graduate School in Nanyang Technological University in 2021. He had joined SCELSE previously as a Ph.D. student, and as a Research Assistant prior to that, working on nitrifying microorganisms in drinking water distribution. His highlighted works include formulating a reproducible approach to enrichment Ammonia-oxidizing Archaea selectively from sources mixed with Ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria, and the outcome of monochloramine disinfection on nitrifiers in drinking water.
