Academic Achievements
- Possesses an advanced VOC laboratory equipped with cutting-edge instruments such as GC-FID/ECD/FPD/MSD, Vocus PTR-TOF-MS, and Bruker EM 27/SUN spectrometer for ambient and source characterization of VOCs and GHGs. This lab serves as a benchmarking facility supporting the air quality monitoring network in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area (GBA).
Research Experience
- In previous research, integrated laboratory, outfield, airborne, and satellite observations were used to quantitatively estimate multi-scale Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Greenhouse Gases (GHGs), and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions, investigating their impacts through numerical modeling. Currently, interested in the sensitivity of air quality and climate change to VOC and GHG emissions, and processes controlling Biosphere-Atmosphere interactions.
Background
- Research interests include the impact of regional air pollution and global climate change on human society, particularly focusing on the accuracy of source estimations for major air pollutants and their precursors. The long-term goal is to pursue a career in academia as a 'life-minded' environmental scientist who understands how air quality varies at both regional and global scales and how our lives are thereby affected.
Miscellany
- The VOC laboratory aims to serve as an intellectual center for scientific research, technical innovation, and policy consultation in the fields of air quality, climate change, and sustainability in Hong Kong, the GBA, and the greater China region.
