In 2019, I received funding from the Irish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to pursue a PhD in Environmental Engineering at University College Cork. After obtaining my PhD in 2022, I continued as a postdoctoral researcher at University College Cork. In 2023, I joined the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a full professor. You can find [my CV] or [中文简历 (Chinese Version) ].
