Introduction

I am a professor and doctoral supervisor at Beijing University of Chemical Technology. In 2005, I obtained a doctoral degree in Atmospheric Physics and Atmospheric Environment from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the same year, I entered Beijing University of Chemical Technology and was selected as a science and technology star in Beijing in 2008. I mainly engaged in research on atmospheric chemistry and pollution control, as well as organic pollution control. I Published over 60 papers, including over 40 SCI papers, applied for over 20 patents, and led the compilation of two group standard. I completed 2 projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, participated in multiple scientific research projects such as the National Key R&D Program and horizontal projects commissioned by enterprises and institutions.

Research

   In the field of atmospheric chemistry, the team studies the impact mechanism of photochemical transformation of volatile organic compounds on the formation of atmospheric ozone and PM2.5.

  In the field of indoor air purification, the team focuses on indoor air disinfection and odor control. Based on the principles of VOCs adsorption, complexation, and degradation, they developed products to inhibit the release of formaldehyde and VOCs from panel materials of furniture. Based on the principle of catalytic ozonation, they developed room-temperature catalytic oxidation technology, which has been successfully used for indoor air disinfection, sterilization, and odor control.

  The team developed extract-advanced oxidation synergistic degradation technology specifically for persistent organic pollutants in soil.

   The team has developed advanced oxidation technology aimed at eliminating TOC to address refractory and emerging organic pollutants in water bodies.
