About
Summary
Highly accomplished Environmental Microbiologist and Postdoctoral Fellow at McMaster University. Expert in evaluating microbial phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) biosignatures and community dynamics within deep subsurface environments. Extensive experience in the bioremediation of microplastics and heavy metals, particularly under high methane concentrations. Recognized for academic excellence through numerous international awards and a robust record of 23+ peer-reviewed publications.
Positions
Postdoctoral Researcher Feb 2025 -
DGR Program Research: Actively engaged with NWMO in research supporting Canada’s Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for the long-term management of used nuclear fuel.
Subsurface Ecology: Evaluating microbial PLFA biosignatures in deep subsurface environments to identify and characterize microbial communities.
Safety Assessment: Analyzing the impact of microbial activity on repository safety and long-term stability.
Biogeochemical Modeling: Contributing insights into biogeochemical processes essential for national nuclear waste isolation strategies.
Education
University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Soil Science Nanjing. 2014 - 2020
Field of study: Soil and water Environmental Microbiology
Degree: Ph.D.
Publication title: Enhanced Adsorptive Bioremediation of Heavy Metals (Cd2+, Cr6+, Pb2+) by Methane-Oxidizing Epipelon.
Multifunctional periphytic biofilms: Polyethylene degradation, Cd2+ and Pb2+ bioremediation under high methane scenario.
Skills
My main expertise includes heavy metals bioremediation, Stable Isotope Probing (SIP), methanotrophy, microplastic degradation, and soil and water priority pollutants bioremediation by periphytons and the impact of these pollutants on microbial community niches.
