About me

 I am a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow specializing in non-target analysis using high-resolution mass spectrometry. 

I completed my doctroral studies in 2022 at Peking University, China, with a focus on the atmospheric chemistry. I developed different strategies to comprehensively identify unknown organic compounds at isomer level in organic aerosols to uncover reaction mechanisms in real polluted atmospheres. In September 2022, I joined ACES as a postdoctoral researcher, where I establish an analytical workflow using gas chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-ion mobility spectromery (GC-APCI-IMS) to screen hydrophobic contminants in sediment. In May 2024, I was awarded a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship. I applied non-target analysis to Arctic sediment to identify persistent chemicals that require regulations and to further understand their sources and emissions.

Investigating fingerprint and fate of hydrophobic pollutants in Arctic using HRGCMS methods

We will develop a high-resolution GCMS method for targeted and non-targeted analysis of hydrophobic organic contaminants and apply the method in Arctic samples to investigate the contaminant fingerprint and fate in Arctic shelf sediment.
