Biography

I am the Principal Investigator (PI) of the Environmental and Public Health Group and a Professor with a 'Young Talent Tier A' appointment at Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU), member of the 'C9 league' universities in China, which is ranked among the top 10 in science and engineering in the country. 

 

The overall theme of my research is on environment and public health, and much of my previous work was on emerging contaminants, particularly the migration of trace organic compounds into and out of polymers including membranes, common plastics, and elastomers. I have strong interests in advancing public health including exposure identification, risk assessment, mitigation, and science communication to the general public. 

 

Prior to joining XJTU, I received research training and experience from the University of Auckland (UoA), National University of Singapore (NUS), University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC), and University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst), and worked with the PIs of several world-renowned laboratories in my fields. Since my Auckland times, I have supervised over 50 students, including undergraduates and Master's students who later developed strong interests in scientific research and pursued their PhDs. In the past five years, I have delivered 12 research projects as the PI and received over 8 million RMB in research funding.

 

I have a strong passion in scientific writing, editing, and communication. I hold appointments as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Environmental Chemistry Letters (Springer Nature, JCR Q1, IF 15.7), the Academic Editor of PLoS ONE (JCR Q2, IF 3.7), and the Editorial Board member of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety (JCR Q1, IF 6.8), and the Science Editor of Animal Diseases (new journal launched in spring 2021). I serve as a member of the Council of Science Editors (U.S.) and the China Editology Society of Science Periodicals. I am a Senior Member of the Chinese Society for Enviornmental Sciences and hold long-term memberships of the International Water Association (IWA) and the American Chemical Society (ACS).

Message to international students

 

China is increasingly seen as a global innovation hub for students and young entrepreneurs.

 

As global citizens, we have worked with many others with highly mixed ethnical and educational backgrounds. Me and my team members worked in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States for more than 25 years combined, where English is the primary language for teaching, researching, and our daily communication. While working overseas at different universities, I have taught or supervised, along with my research associates, more than 20 students on their research projects or dissertations. The majority of those students were of non-Chinese ethnicity. 

 

We share the common interest of having our passion for science and the goal of using scientific research to better serve humanity and our communities. Outside work, we enjoy food, music, sports, nice weather, and outdoor activities. We met people who later became our lifelong friends with heartwarming memories and enriched cultural experiences, people with so many different cultural backgrounds, from Africa to South America.

 

We work in an open, modern, and collaborative environment that respects the culture, religion, values, and interests of each individual. We are an equal opportunity group and we respect applicants from all ethnical, religious, and educational backgrounds.

 

We encourage international students to apply for scholarships and opportunities to join us here at Xi’an Jiaotong University. This is truly a great place to study, to live, and to innovate. 

 

Take a look.
