讚詞

湯初陽教授對研究脫鹽膜納米結構及其傳輸行為做出了傑出貢獻，是膜技術、海水淡化、水回用領域的領軍人物。作為水通道蛋白仿生膜的主要發明人，首次開發了可大規模生產的水通道蛋白嵌入式仿生脫鹽膜。這項受到脫鹽領域廣泛認可的新一代膜技術，在保持出色選擇性的同時實現高效水傳輸，已在新加坡、丹麥、中國商業化。湯教授開發了界面納米發泡技術控制聚酰胺反滲透膜表面粗糙度和形態的開創性工作，首次闡明了界面脫氣機理及該機理對膜表面粗糙度特徵的決定性影響，解決了膜研究領域幾十年來的難題。納米發泡技術有效克服了反滲透和納濾膜的滲透選擇性制約。他設計直接針對微污染物去除的水回用膜彌合了膜製備與水回用應用之間的重要鴻溝。湯教授發表SCI核心期刊論文260餘篇，總引用數15,979，H指數71，發明專利15項，並70多次作邀請報告、主題演講、大會主旨報告。獲得芬蘭傑出教授計劃學者獎、國際海水淡化協會學者獎、新加坡國家發展部研發獎等榮譽，同時與他的研究團隊因膜和過濾產品的發明獲得多個國際獎項。
