Summary
I am a Junior Research Fellow at the School of Public Health, Fudan University. My research primarily focuses on the health impacts of air pollution and climate change, as well as their underlying biological mechanisms. By integrating population-based epidemiology, environmental exposure science, and molecular biology, I aim to generate robust evidence for environmental health policymaking and disease prevention. My work contributes to evidence-based policymaking in China, supporting efforts to mitigate climate change, revise air quality standards, and protect vulnerable populations
Over the past five years, I have led or participated in multi-center case-crossover studies, prospective birth cohorts, and intensive individual-level studies to systematically assess the health effects of atmospheric environmental exposures. I have published more than 20 peer-reviewed articles as the first or co-first author. My research has been featured in prestigious journals such as Circulation, The Lancet Planetary Health, Nature Communications, Environmental Health Perspectives, and Journal of Hazardous Materials. One paper of mine was recognized as an ESI Highly Cited Paper. I am the youth editor of The Innovation Medicine. I have served as the reviewer for several SCI journals, such as Environmental Health Perspectives, International Journal of Epidemiology, and The Lancet Regional Health-Western Pacific. I lead three scientific programs by the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation and Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality.
