Invited report

Prof. Kevin Jones is the Distinguished Professor of Environmental Chemistry at Lancaster University and a Senior Visiting International Professor with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. 

Prof. Kevin Jones has pioneered world leading research into the environmental sources, fate, behaviour and effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) over the last four decades. He has an outstanding scientific reputation in environmental research field with more than 700 scientific publications with H-Index of 155.

Dr. Trang Huynh is a Principal Environmental Scientist at Hydrobiology, Australia, with over 15 years of experience in environmental investigations and management for government and industrial clients. She specializes in geochemistry and environmental chemistry, with a particular focus on pollutant dynamics (speciation and bioavailability) in aquatic systems.

Dr. Huynh completed her PhD in Environmental Science at the University of Melbourne (2008) and MSc at the University of Sydney (2001). She worked at the University of Queensland (2008–2016) before joining Hydrobiology. She is internationally recognized for her expertise in the Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films (DGT) technique, which she has applied across mining, industrial, and infrastructure projects to assess bioavailable pollutants and to develop site-specific water quality guidelines, discharge criteria, and management strategies.

Her research interests include applying advanced technologies (e.g. DGT) to evaluate contamination risks in renewable energy and infrastructure developments, particularly floating solar and pumped hydro. She has collaborated extensively with the DGT Research Group at Lancaster University, UK, since her PhD and continues to lead and contribute to R&D projects funded by the Australian Academy of Science, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Singapore’s National Water Agency (PUB), and private industry partners.

Trang authored the Australian Government guidelines on deriving site-specific water quality values, which provide step-by-step methodologies for water quality management, waste discharge assessment, and monitoring programs. She also serves as a technical advisor for The Australian Water Partnership supporting Indo-Pacific partners to advance sustainable and climate-resilient water resource management.
