Rate My Professor Paul Jensen

Jensen contributes to over 12 research and consulting projects each year across municipal, agricultural, animal, and industrial sectors, and has supported major wastewater infrastructure projects in the past five years. He currently holds funding from the ARC Training Centre in Bioplastics and Biocomposites (2022-2027), alongside past grants on topics including anaerobic co-digestion, sludge management, waste-to-energy, PFAS removal, and renewable energy from wastewater. His key publications include the book chapter 'Resource Recovery from Water: Principles and Application' (2022), 'Established full-scale applications for energy recovery from water: anaerobic digestion' (2022), 'Anaerobic processes' in Treatise on Water Science (2011), and recent articles such as 'Enhanced anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic paunch waste using potassium hydroxide pre-treatment' (2025, Bioresource Technology), 'Enabling the circular nitrogen economy with organic and organo-mineral fertilisers' (2025, Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems), 'Scaffolding development of process engineering drawing skills across an undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum' (2024), 'Effect of alkaline pre-treatment on hydrolysis rate and methane production during anaerobic digestion of paunch solid waste' (2023, Waste Management), and 'Utilisation of paunch waste as a natural fibre in biocomposites' (2022, Polymers). He has supervised PhD students from 2011 to 2025 and coordinates courses such as Advanced Unit Operations in Water Management. Additionally, he served as editorial contributor for 'Editorial: biological methanation or (bio/syn)-gas upgrading' (2020, Frontiers in Energy Research).
