Ph.D.  Aquatic ecology and water quality management Group, Wageningen University, 2021.

Research

​

My work focuses on the earlier warming signals of infectious disease outbreaks and the key roles of anthropogenic activities. One of key goals is to find liable indicators to prevent disease outbreaks before pandemic, which can reduce financial burden and ensure public health. Before joining Rohr lab, I used to be an ecologist and ecotoxicologist. Combing theoretical tools with practice is the research tool I use.
