Aug 15, 2024 | Staff

The Gaia team is excited to celebrate the remarkable achievement of Dr. Tien (Chris) Ngo, who has just earned his PhD from RMIT University!

Congratulations, Dr. Ngo! We’re thrilled to see your expertise driving progress in anaerobic digestion.  

Congratulations, Dr. Ngo! We’re thrilled to see your expertise driving progress in anaerobic digestion.  

His dissertation, titled “Effects of Biochar on Methane Production and the Microbial Community in the Anaerobic Digestion of Chicken Manure,” aimed to develop and validate a more efficient way to anaerobically digest a major organic waste, chicken manure, with a focus on the intricacies of microbiology to better understand and optimise the underlying processes.
