Hsin-Neng Hsieh, PhD

Hsin-Neng Hsieh, PhD	Hsin-Neng Hsieh, PhD, is professor of civil and environmental engineering and associate chair of the department at New Jersey Institute of Technology. His current research includes analyzing the low-cost treatment of municipal wastewater; treatment of industrial sludge and the impact of combined sewer overflow on water quality. Combined sewer overflow relates to older cities, such as Newark, whose pipes handle both storm water and residential wastewater. The two kinds of water eventually discharge from the pipes and into estuaries, streams and rivers. When the combined pipe system was designed, engineers assumed it was safe, but current engineers no longer assume that: Hsieh is thus studying the effect of a combined pipe system on water quality and drinking water. Hsieh received his bachelor’s degree from Cheng-Kung University, Taiwan, his master’s degree from the University of Iowa, and his doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh.
