In the past five years, I have focused on studying the impacts of chemical pollutants from waste sources on the environment within the Environmental Health and Sustainable Development field. I utilize tools such as AERMOD, CALPUFF, and CALLINE to model the dispersion of hazardous chemicals in the environment and employ models like PMF, PCA, and Cluster analysis to identify sources of air pollution. Additionally, I use GMS AQUAVIO and Hydrus 1D to simulate the dispersion of chemicals in groundwater and soil.

I use the Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model and AIRQ+ to assess the impact of chemicals on human health. The PBPK model helps simulate the distribution, metabolism, and elimination of chemicals in the human body, while AIRQ+ analyzes information on air quality, population data, and health metrics. The Potential Ecological Risk (PER) assessment method is also applied to evaluate the risk of heavy metals in road dust to ecosystems.

My research interests also align with potential collaboration opportunities. I am interested in evaluating the impacts of climate change, the construction of hydroelectric dams on the environment and public health, and the development of renewable energy aiming towards Net Zero/Zero Carbon. My skills and knowledge are applicable not only to academic research but also to practical projects and environmental policy development, and I am open to collaborating with others who share these interests.
