Gary Amy is the Dean’s Distinguished Professor in the College of Engineering at Clemson University. He has formerly held a number of academic appointments throughout the world, including: Visiting Professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the National University of Singapore; Director of the Water Desalination and Reuse Center at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia; Professor of Water Supply Engineering at the UNESCO- IHE Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands with a joint appointment at the Technical University of Delft; Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he is Emeritus Professor; and at the University of Arizona.

Over a career of 45 years, Dr. Amy has collaborated with faculty, post-docs, and graduate students to make significant research contributions in drinking water quality and treatment, desalination, and wastewater reclamation/reuse, with specific focus areas including membrane science and technology, selective adsorption, natural organic matter characterization, disinfection by-product formation and control, and natural systems. Dr. Amy’s present research focus at Clemson is on emerging low-energy membrane-based desalination technologies for municipal and agricultural applications. He has published over 500 articles in refereed publications and supervised more than 50 PhD students. Dr. Amy is the recipient of the 2017 A. P.
