Water research excellent - congrats Sina Moradi!

A PhD student from PARTCAT: Mr Sina Moradi has been awarded the Hodgson Student award 2016 by the Australian Water Association last Friday, 18th November at the SA Water Awards Dinner. The award aims to encourage and reward students for excellence in water related studies and research, and provides a forum for students to display their academic excellence, innovation and/or research findings to future employees, clients and water industry. Sina's PhD work on Assessment and modelling of chloroamine residual decay in drinking water has been selected worthy of the award. Read more about the Award here.

Sina Moradi (supervised by Professor Rose Amal) is currently on sabbatical with the Research and Innovation Services team at South Australia Water to work on different strategies to manage chloroamine decay and nitrification in water distribution systems. The project was funded by Australian Research Council Linkage Project.
