Hong Yao's research focuses on wastewater and sludge treatment technologies, including nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) removal processes like anammox (a bacterial process that removes ammonia without oxygen), anaerobic digestion for methane production, and advanced oxidation methods for treating wastewater. A related strand of work examines antibiotic resistance genes and pathogens such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Campylobacter, as well as life cycle and economic assessments of treatment systems aimed at reducing carbon emissions and recovering resources.
