Areas of interest
Dr. Yan ZHAO has acquired a good knowledge of environmental science, especially in the environmental chemistry and environmental catalysis. Also, she is skilled at analytical chemistry operation. Now, she focuses on the atmospheric chemistry, such as the heterogeneous reaction occurring on soot and mineral dust and the formation mechanism of secondary inorganic aerosols (SIA) including sulfate, nitrates and ammoniums. At present, as a postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Yan Zhao cooperates with Prof. Yanlin Zhang in Yale-NUIST Center on Atmospheric Environment and works on the identification of chemical processes of SIA (sulfate, nitrates and ammonium) using isotope techniques and laboratory simulate experiments .
