On January 24, 2025, the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) hosted the workshop “Nanobubbles for Sustainability: Transforming Agriculture and Environmental Management” at the Weston Hall 220 Gallery Conference Room. Organized by Dr. Wen Zhang, the event brought together leading researchers, industry professionals, students, and policymakers from across the globe to explore the transformative applications of nanobubble technology in sustainable agriculture and environmental management.
The workshop highlighted nanobubbles’ potential in areas such as pollution mitigation, soil health improvement, water efficiency, and agricultural productivity. Discussions also delved into innovative strategies for pollutant degradation, carbon sequestration, and improving water use in controlled environment agriculture. Attendees gained valuable insights into the science behind nanobubbles and their practical applications in addressing pressing global challenges.
The event featured an impressive lineup of speakers, including international experts such as Prof. Pan Li (Tongji University), Prof. Yoshikatsu Ueda (Kyoto University), and Prof. Yongsheng Chen (Georgia Institute of Technology), who discussed topics ranging from nutrient utilization in aquatic vegetation to the role of nanobubbles in urban sustainability. Industry leaders also contributed, with presentations from Dr. Michael Radicone (I2 Air Fluid Innovation) and Dr. Jeff Bodycomb (HORIBA), highlighting advancements in nanobubble characterization and real-world applications.
