Process engineer, Sydvatten

Sandy Chan is focus area leader of Biological stability of drinking water

Sandy has a PhD in technical microbiology at Lund University of Technology. She is a civil engineer in biotechnology with a specialization in molecular biotechnology. During her years as a PhD student, she researched the biofilm in various drinking water systems, from infiltration ponds and slow filters to the mains. After the doctoral education, she had the opportunity to continue her research through her employment as a process engineer at Sydvatten.

The research has given Sandy new methods and techniques, above all molecular analysis methods to be able to study bacteria in drinking water, which forms the basis of her future research work. She has a focus on chemical and especially microbiological risks in drinking water and is passionate about drinking water quality. Her ambition is to be able to contribute to the future development in drinking water with quality in focus.
