PhD Student, University of Zaragoza

Doctoral Network RESCUER (MSCA)

Mengyun Wang is a PhD student at the University of Zaragoza within the MSCA Doctoral Network RESCUER (Resilient Solutions for Coastal, Urban, Estuarine, Riverine Environments). She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Water Science and Engineering from Huaqiao University in 2020 and a Master’s degree in Municipal Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2022. During her studies, she conducted extensive research on water analysis techniques and advanced oxidation processes. After graduation, she worked as a drainage engineer at Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute (2022–2024), gaining practical experience in sewer systems, wastewater treatment plants, urban flooding mitigation, and integrated water environment management.

Mengyun’s research background includes water analysis methods and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for degrading persistent organic pollutants. Currently, her PhD research focuses on numerical modeling of urban wastewater systems, integrating hydraulic processes with biochemical reactions to support sustainable water management. Her main research goals include:

• Integrated Hydraulic-Water Quality Modeling: Development of a coupled framework combining 0D (wastewater treatment plants), 1D (sewer networks), and 2D (receiving wa-ters) hydraulic simulations with biochemical processes.
• Computational Advancements: Application of GPU programming to enhance computa-tional efficiency and enable high-resolution, large-scale simulations.
• Practical Applications: Design of a graphical user interface (GUI) and implementation of optimization algorithms to support engineers, policymakers, and stakeholders in sustainable wastewater system management.
