Rate My Professor Charles Lee

Charles Lee is a Conjoint Associate Professor in the School of Health Sciences, College of Health, Medicine and Wellbeing, at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He serves as Director of the Centre for Sustainable Development and Program Convenor for the Bachelor of Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety at the Newcastle Australia Institute of Higher Education in Singapore. Lee holds a PhD in Soil Science (1987), an MSc in Soil Science (1982), and a BSc (1980), all from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA. His academic career includes extensive involvement in environmental management, research, teaching, and consulting in North America and the Asia-Pacific region.

Lee's research specializations include environmental remediation, sustainability, ecological restoration, and peatland haze. Key publications feature 'Photocatalytic degradation and mineralization of bisphenol A by TiO2 and platinized TiO2' (Applied Catalysis A: General, 2004), 'Joint toxicity of tetracycline with copper(II) and cadmium(II) to Vibrio fischeri: effect of complexation reaction' (Ecotoxicology, 2015), 'Cadmium sorption characteristics of soil amendments and its relationship with the cadmium uptake by hyperaccumulator and normal plants in amended soils' (International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2014), 'Transformation and adsorption of fenamiphos, f. sulfoxide and f. sulfone in Molokai soil and simulated movement with irrigation' (Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 1986), 'Evaluation of manganese application after soil stabilization to effectively reduce cadmium in rice' (Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2022), 'Rapid detection of Cronobacter sakazakii in dairy food by biofunctionalized magnetic nanoparticle based on nuclear magnetic resonance' (Food Control, 2013), 'Using a high biomass plant Pennisetum hydridum to phyto-treat fresh municipal sewage sludge' (Bioresource Technology, 2016), and 'Combining potassium chloride leaching with vertical electrokinetics to remediate cadmium-contaminated soils' (Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 2019). His work contributes to advancements in soil contamination remediation and ecological health.
