Rashed Al-Sa'Ed
Rashed Al-Sa´ed received his Dr.-Eng. in Sanitary and Environmental Engineering
from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. He is currently involved
in environmental education and applied research at the Institute of
Environmental and Water Studies of Birzeit
University. Over the past years he worked as a consulting engineer in Jordan
and Germany,
where he planned and built up small and urban wastewater treatment plants. His
present research fields at the IEWS concentrate on nutrient removal, effluent
reuse and biosolids recycling, membrane-based treatment technologies including
MBRs and desalination, pollution control, onsite sanitation, environmental
biotechnology, cleaner production, environmental education and training. During
the last 15 years he co-supervised four PhD students and graduated more than 100
M.Sc. students in the field of water science and engineering. He has over 100 publications
in refereed journals, conference proceedings and book chapters. He is currently
a Reviewer for and on the Editorial Board of several scholar journals. Dr.
Al-Sa´ed, an accredit environmental arbitrator, is also working as technical advisor
for the Palestinian Water Authority, and provides technical advice for local
NGOs and international agencies.
