About Me

My research focuses on investigating the occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants and the roles of functional environmental microbiome in contaminants bioremediation. To achieve this, I (i) apply advanced analytical chemistry techniques (i.e., high-resolution mass spectrometry) combined with suspect and nontarget analysis to detect emerging contaminants (i.e., natural toxins and anthropogenic chemicals) and their transformation products in the environment, and (ii) utilize molecular microbiology and biochemistry techniques to gain insights into the responsible microorganisms, genes, and enzymes involved in these processes.

My Journey

PAST: Investigating Emerging Contaminant Biotransformation

NOW: Identifying Functional Enzymes from Meta'omics Dataset

FUTURE: Understanding the emerging contaminants landscape, studying the functional environmental microbiome, and integrating biotransformation insights into safe-and-sustainable-by-design chemicals.
