Zhenhuan Chen陈震寰

PhD Student

• M.E., Environmental Engineering, Guangzhou University, China (2018-2021)
• B.E., Environmental Engineering, Nanjing Agricultural University, China (2014-2018)

Zhenhuan joined Dr. Zhang’s group in July 2021 and became a PhD student in September 2021. He used to work on heterogeneous catalytic advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Currently, his main research work is to reveal the defluorination mechanism of chlorine- and fluorine- containing compounds by sulfidized nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI). In the laboratory, he is interested in chromatography and mass spectrometry, yet outside of the lab, he is fond of swimming, samurai and cowboys.

PhD Student

• B.E., Agricultural Resources and Environment, Zhejiang University, China (2018-2022)

Ke joined Dr. Zhang’s group in June 2022 and became a PhD student in September 2022. She used to work on microbial degradation of PAHs and PBDEs. Now she is interested in the biotransformation and microbial degradation of PFASs. Outside the lab, she likes travelling and handwork.

Danfan Wang 王丹凡

Research Assistant

• M.S., Environmental Protection and Management, The University of Edinburgh, UK (2021-2022)
• B.E., Chemical Engineering and Technology, East China University of Science and Technology, China (2017-2021)

Danfan joined Dr. Zhang’s group as a Research Assistant in March 2023. She is now working on the distribution of PFAS in Chinese water system. Outside the lab, she likes reading novels and listening to music.

Xinxin Zhang 张欣欣

PhD Student

• M.E., Pharmaceutical Analysis, Zhejiang University, China (2015-2022)
• B.E., Pharmaceutical engineering, Northwest Normal University, China (2015-2019)

Xinxin Zhang joined Dr. Zhang's group in June 2023 and became a PhD student in August 2023. She works on the non-targeted analysis (NTA) of PFASs in various environmental matrices. She used to focus on the qualitative and quantitative analysis using HPLC-MS/MS, as well as evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity at the cellular level. She is an expert in HPLC-MS/MS. Outside the lab, She enjoys playing basketball and singing.

Haoran Yang 杨昊然

Visiting Student

• B.S., Chemistry, University of Manchester (2019-2023)

Haoran became a PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Zhang in August 2023.Her previous research was primarily dedicated to exploring the utilization of computational methodologies in analyzing the collision cross section of small molecules within ion mobility mass spectrometry, with a specific focus on structural analysis. Currently, her scholarly pursuits revolve around computational research pertaining to the degradation mechanisms of PFASs. Alongside her academic pursuits, Haoran actively engages in skiing and skydiving as personal recreational activities.
