Rui Xin was a visiting student at Beijing Jiaotong University. She worked in Dr. Zhang's lab for a month in July to August in 2023.At the time, she was in her second year ofundergraduate.During her stay, shereviewed paperson the electrochemical treatment of PFAS and completed the extraction experiment and data processing of PFASs in environmental samples together with Ke WANG.

Zekai is a visiting student from China Pharmaceutical University. He worked in Dr. Zhang's lab for three months from July to September in 2023. At the time, he was in his third year of undergraduate. During his stay, based on density functional theory, the enhancement effects of PFASs at the interface was simulated by using CP2K and GROMACS softwares. Outside the lab, he likes music.

Chenghan is a visiting student from East China University of Science and Technology. He worked in Dr. Zhang's lab for a month from July to August in 2023. At the time, he was in his second year of undergraduate. During his stay, he assisted Zhenhuan Chen in conducting experiments on the remediation of chlorinated organic pollutants in groundwater with thio modified nano zero valent iron, and completed a document study on the extraction of PFOA from water using ionic liquids. He proposed his own perspective on exploring which ionic liquids to use for PFOA extraction and industrial applications in the future.

Huixian joined Dr. Zhang’s group as a Research Assistant in July 2023. She is now working on the fate of PFASs in soil-plant systems. She used to focus on the uptake pathway and accumulation mechanisms of OPEs in plants. Outside the lab, she likes playing badminton and soul music.

Shendong joined Dr. Zhang’s group as a visitor in September 2022. He used to focus on the theoretical research on atmospheric key organic species participating in new particle formation and its reaction mechanism at air-water interface. He likes playing badminton and running.
