Dr. PHUANG Zhen Xin

Postdoctoral Fellow

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou)

My core research interests revolve around system analytical optimization modelling on circular waste management for data-driven policymaking purposes, in which this research field is commonly a blend of decision-making tools such as life cycle assessment, multi-objective optimization, and geographical information system. Besides, in my latest research, I developed a niche interest on transboundary circular plastic waste management under the influence of Global Plastics Treaty, supported with my research experiences investigating the plastic waste management in Malaysia.
