Biography

I am an atmospheric chemistry modeller, with major research focuses on (1) polar and global atmospheric chemistry, mainly in halogen (bromine)-related  chemistry; (2) sea-ice-sourced sea salt aerosol production mechanism and parameterisations. A variety of models are used including global chemistry transport model (pTOMCAT) and chemistry climate model (UM-UKCA). Before I joint British Antarctic survey in 2014, I had been working in the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge for 12 years. I got all my degrees in China.

Research interests

I have expertise in atmospheric halogen chemistry, especially in tropospheric bromine modelling. I am one of the first to apply a detailed tropospheric bromine scheme in global model pTOMCAT to study global budget of inorganic bromine and their impacts on atmospheric oxidizing capacity (ozone). In a following-on work, we found that tropospheric bromine plays a key (dominant) role in atmospheric elemental mercury oxidation. I am extremely interested in polar boundary layer springtime bromine explosion event and associated ozone depletion.

My another outstanding work lies on the hypothesis of sea salt aerosol production from blowing snow on sea ice. I initiated the idea and parameterized the SSA production flux. Recent Weddell Sea cruise data haven proven the correctness of the idea. I am currently involved in a few NERC funded grants to estimate this sea-ice-sourced sea salt aerosol on polar regional and global climate (e.g. via acting as source of cloud condensation nuclei or even ice nuclei). Other relevant studies include (i) source of bromine during polar boundary layer bromine explosion event in spring and the associated ozone depletion, (ii)  ice core [Na] as a sea ice extent proxy for the past.

I also involved in two spring field works at Eureka (80N), Canada to collect thousands snow samples for ionic analysis. These work were supported by two NERC UK-Canada bursaries (2018 and 2019) and in collaboration with University of Toronto (via Canadian CANDAC project).
