Water Quality

I received my Ph. D degree in Environmental Engineering with minor in Soil, Water and Environmental Science at The University of Arizona on December of 2008. From January 2009 to August 2011, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at The University of Arizona. Currently, I am appointed as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at The University of Arizona.
Over the past years, I have been actively involved in several multidisciplinary research programs at The University of Arizona, e.g. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences-University of Arizona Superfund Basic Research program, SRC/SEMATECH Engineering Research Center for Environmentally Benign Semiconductor Manufacturing and NSF Water Quality Center, mainly focusing on environmental fate and treatment of contaminants, environmental toxicological impacts of emerging chemicals and nanomaterials in natural and engineered systems, and environmental biotechnology in water/wastewater treatment. The core of my researches is microorganism, which has the mystery abilities to clean and protect environmental sources. My research interests are driven the by the desire to understand the role of microbes in the interactions between environment and contaminants.
