Wen-Che Hou studies how engineered and incidental nanoparticles (such as zinc oxide, silver, and iron/lead particles from plumbing corrosion) behave and move through water and environmental systems, and how these particles and other pollutants affect toxicity and human health risk. Work also covers photocatalytic and adsorption-based methods for breaking down pollutants like dyes and perfluorinated chemicals, and development of advanced instrumentation for detecting and characterizing nanoparticles in environmental samples. This research sits at the intersection of environmental engineering, analytical chemistry, and nanomaterials science.
Publication output rose from 2017 through a peak around 2020-2022, then has tapered off to a lower, steadier pace of about 3-4 papers per year in 2023-2025.
