Current MS Research
I am currently working on the detection and analysis of disinfection by-products in different distribution systems all over America. DBPs involved in the project are trihalomethanes(THMs), haloacetic acids(HAAs), total organic halides(TOX),haloacetamides(HAMs) and so on.I am participating in the externally-funded projects on:

- THMs and HAAs formation potential:
The objective of this study is to compare trihalomethanes(THMs) and haloacetic acids(HAAs) formation potential under different molecular weight of dissolved organic matters (DOMs). Raw water from Huangpu River in Shanghai was collected and analyzed. Influence of environmental factors on DBP concentration was also studied.

- Influence of dissolved organic matters(DOMs) on membrane fouling(under a grant from Shanghai government):
In this study, membrane fouling mechanism and various factors which influence membrane fouling were further studied based on two identical pilot scale anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic (A/A/O) flat-sheet membrane bioreactors. The influence of operation parameters on effluent quality and sludge characteristics, such as extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), dissolved organic matter (DOM), were studied and the impact of these parameters on membrane fouling were analyzed further. The results are of great importance for improving the performance and decreasing the cost of membrane bioreactor.
