I earned my doctorate in physical geography in 2005 from Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research (IGSNRR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). From 2005 to 2007, I worked as a research assistant in Nanjing Institute of Geography & Limnology (NIGLAS), CAS. Currently, I'm a professor and the vice director of Division of Lake Environment and Engineering in NIGLAS. I have published over 50 peer-reviewed papers in international journals. I was honored with the project of Outstanding Youth Science Foundation by NSFC in 2013 and National High-level Personnel of Special Support Program in 2015. My researches include developments of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) and other in situ, high-resolution techniques for detecting environmental conditions and sampling diverse pollutants in environments, studies of small- and micro-scale processes in freshwater system, and recovery of polluted sediment-water system.

Abstract

Sediment is one of the main pools for a wide range of contaminants which can be released to water under certain conditions, posing a high risk on deteriorating aquatic ecosystems. A Zr-oxide based diffusion gradients in thin... [ view full abstract ]
