🎓 Academic and Professional Background

I pursued my master’s and doctoral degrees in environmental science and engineering at Hohai University. My research focuses on the fate of pollutants in ecosystems. I have successfully published 11 research papers as a first or second author (under the supervision of my advisor) in renowned journals like Water Research, Journal of Hazardous Materials, Science of The Total Environment, Environmental Pollution, Chemosphere, and Environmental Science and Pollution Research.

🔬 Research and Innovations

I have contributed significantly to the field of environmental science through my research on pollutants and ecosystem interactions. Some of my completed and ongoing research projects include:

Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Cultivation Programme Project – School of Environment, Hohai University

Jiangsu Postgraduate Research Innovation Programme

💡 Consultancy/Industry Projects

I have also been involved in several consultancy and industry-related projects, where I provided environmental assessments and damage appraisal reports. Notable projects include:

Comprehensive Water Resources Planning for Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang

Environmental Damage Assessment Project for the solid waste dumping site at Innovation Harbour, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province

Environmental Damage Assessment Report on the illegal dumping of solid waste in Pailou Community, Taicang City

Technical Programme of Landfill Sludge Treatment for Jiaxing City Joint Sewage Treatment Limited Liability Company

“Waste-free city” construction project in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province

🌱 Environmental Impact Projects

I have also played a critical role in projects that assessed the environmental impact of illegal waste disposal and provided solutions for sustainable waste management. Some significant projects include:

Zhengrui Science and Technology Co. illegal dumping site investigation

Toumen Harbor Economic Development Zone public and private property damage assessment
