About me

I completed my PhD work in Prof. Fei Qi's group at the University of Science and Technology of China in 2017. My research topics concern experimental and modelling investigations on the combustion chemistry of large alkanes, cycloalkanes and biofuels. Combustion diagnostic tools combined with different reactors were used in experiments, such as the synchrotron VUV molecular beam mass spectrometry at the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. I also developed chemical kinetic models to explain experimental results.

My current research as a postdoctoral fellow is focused on the experimental and kinetic modelling studies on the heterogeneous oxidation reactions of organic particles and OH radical. Experimental investigations on the heterogeneous reactions were conducted in a continuous flow stirred tank reactor combined with synchrotron VUV aerosol mass spectrometry at ALS, GC and SMPS. I will also develop the kinetic mechanism of the heterogeneous oxidation process of particles based on Kinetiscope software.
