About Dipok
Dipok Sarker is an Adjunct Research Fellow in the School of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at Curtin University. He completed his PhD in Civil Engineering from Curtin University in February 2012, with a thesis entitled 'Modelling inhibition of microbes responsible for acceleration of chloramine decay in water supply system'. He also holds an MEng from the Asian Institute of Technology and a BSc. His career at Curtin University has included roles such as Senior Research Officer, focusing on environmental engineering research related to water quality management.
Sarker's research interests encompass nitrification control in chloraminated drinking water systems, chloramine decay mechanisms, stormwater gross pollutant characterization and treatment using catch basin inserts, phosphorus removal via calcined lime sludge, removal of emerging contaminants like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), hydraulics of floating treatment islands, and greywater treatment by aeration and membrane filtration. Key publications include 'Evidence of soluble microbial products accelerating chloramine decay in nitrifying bulk water samples' (Water Research, 2012), 'Removal of emerging perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonate contaminants from lake water' (Environmental Technology, 2017), 'Characterising stormwater gross pollutants captured in catch basin inserts' (Science of The Total Environment, 2017), 'Improving stormwater quality at source using catch basin inserts' (Journal of Environmental Management, 2018), 'Review of hydraulics of Floating Treatment Islands retrofitted in waterbodies receiving stormwater' (Science of The Total Environment, 2021), and 'Effective chloramine management without “burn” in biofilm affected nitrifying tanks using a low dose of copper' (Chemosphere, 2024). His 28 publications have garnered over 430 citations, demonstrating impact in water treatment and environmental engineering fields.
