Dr. Chunhui Fan
Biography
I was born and raised in Tangyuan County, Heilongjiang Province, P. R. China, and received my bachelor’s degree in the Department of Agricultural Resources and Environment in Northeast Agricultural University (Harbin, China) in June, 2005. Three years later, I received my master’s degree in the Department of Ecology from Northeast Agricultural University. After receiving my Doctor’s degree, under the direction of Professor Zhang Ying, in the Department of Crop Ecology from Northeast Agricultural University in June, 2010, I worked as an assistant professor in the College of Resources and Environment in Shaanxi University of Science and Technology (Xi’an, China). Then I began my Postdoctoral Scientist position since November, 2010 in the research center of Light Industry Technology and Engineering in Shaanxi University of Science and Technology for three years with Professor Ding Shaolan. I worked as an associated professor in the College of Environmental Science and Engineering in Shaanxi University of Science and Technology since December, 2016. It is of great significance to investigate the environmental-related research, and it is excited and wonderful for me to engage in the work.
Project Summary
My primary interest is related to biogeochemistry, mainly focus on the contaminants transformation behavior and remediation mechanism in pedosphere, especially under the existing conditions of organic matters, eogenous or endogenous. I apply traditional chemical analysis methods and various instrumental analysis methods, including SEM, TEM, Raman, UV-Vis, NMR, ICP-AES, AAS, FT-IR, XRD, XPS, etc., into related research. I hope micromechanism of contaminants transformation could be attained to help improve the site remediation technology in pedosphere.
