A professional with expertise in environmental science, engineering, and chemistry has a diverse background spanning industry, academic research, and higher education. They hold a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering (2014, Fudan University, China), focusing on PM2.5 chemical composition, urban haze, and on-line trace metal analysis in aerosols; a Master’s in Chemistry (2011, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, majoring in Analytical Sciences); and a Bachelor’s in Physical Chemistry (2005, Rotterdam’s School of Higher Laboratory Education).
Currently, they serve as a Compliance Officer at Rotterdam’s Environmental Protection Agency (2023–present), conducting on-site inspections to enforce energy regulations. Previously, they were a Chemistry Lecturer/Lab Instructor at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and Duke Kunshan University (2019–2023), teaching undergrad courses (spectroscopy, quantum mechanics) and guiding student research (e.g., using levoglucosan as a bio-tracer for biomass burning). They also taught A-level/IGCSE/AP Chemistry at Shanghai international schools (2013–2019) and worked as an engineer (2005–2008) on real-time atmospheric pollutant measurement projects (funded by USEPA). Their publications include studies on urban aerosols, and they hold an IELTS 8.0 (fluent English) and elementary Mandarin.
