I study bioaerosols (e.g., bacteria, fungal spores, and pollens) in natural environments and human society. I strive to develop advanced analytical and numerical tools for the precise characterization, identification, and modeling of the chemistry, physics, and impacts of bioaerosols.
I am seeking domestic and international young researchers, with a background in atmospheric sciences, biology, environmental sciences, chemistry, marine sciences, mathematics, physics, or other fields. The group offers positions for postdoctoral researchers, doctoral students, master's students, visiting students and scholars, etc. We warmly welcome aspiring individuals who are passionate about scientific research to join our team. For inquiries, please feel free to contact me.
Now, 2 Postdoc positions are open to apply! Foreign and domestic young scholars are very welcome to contact me!
