Peter Shui-shing Chan is a research staff member in the Department of Construction, Environment, and Engineering at the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong (THEi). He holds a master’s degree in Biotechnology from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. Before joining THEi, he spent two decades in application support and servicing of scientific research instruments at Perkin-Elmer Corporation, Applied BioSystems Division. His expertise in scientific research and environmental monitoring instrumentation includes polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time PCR, DNA sequencing, protein sequencing, chromatography (LC, CE), mass spectrometry (electrospray, MALDI-TOF), spectroscopy (UV-Vis, AAS, ICP), and elemental analysis. In 2023, Mr. Chan published a scientific paper on using nanoparticles as an energy-efficient method for harvesting microalgae. In his talk, he will introduce the use of a bacterial enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, to increase the bio-fixation rate of microalgae for carbon capture and utilization, enhancing biomass production.
