Short CV
Dr. Stuart Khan is an Associate Professor in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of New South Wales. He leads a research group undertaking research on the water quality, performance and risk management of drinking water, wastewater and recycled water systems. Dr Khan has co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters on these topics. He teaches water quality, water treatment, water analysis, risk assessment and sustainability analysis to undergraduate and postgraduate UNSW students. Dr Khan is a member of the Water Quality Advisory Committee to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). In this role, he has contributed to the development of many water management guidelines including the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines and the Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling. Dr Khan is the current Chair of the Australian Water Association (AWA) Specialist Network for Water Recycling. He is also a vice-Chair of the International Water Association (IWA) Special Interest Group on Water Reuse.
