Research Assistant
I am highly proficient in homologous recombination‑based gene editing and well‑versed in molecular and cellular biology techniques, including molecular cloning, quantitative PCR, cell culture, and nucleic acid electrophoresis. I am also familiar with routine environmental wastewater analyses, covering COD, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and suspended solids. My hands‑on experience includes DNA and RNA extraction from pathogenic microorganisms, quantitative analysis, and the isolation and cultivation of environmental and pathogenic microbes for bioremediation and ecological restoration. I integrate classical microbiological methods with advanced molecular tools to monitor microbial communities, evaluate treatment efficacy, and support environmental health risk assessment. I am committed to delivering reliable experimental data for pollution control and sustainable wastewater management.
Research interests
Microbial nitrogen removal
This research focuses on direct microbial ammonia oxidation to explore efficient, low-energy biological nitrogen removal.
