Yang XU
2025-Present
PhD.: The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology （香港科技大学）, 2025, Atmospheric environmental chemistry
Yang studies carbonyl compounds in the atmosphere, with a focus on developing measurement methods and understanding their transformation processes. Her research also explores the profiles, formation mechanisms, and toxicity of emerging organic pollutants. She currently focuses on the sources, multiphase partitioning, and transformation of indoor OVOCs. Outside the lab, she enjoys museums, books, and TV series.
Penggang Zheng
2024-Present
PhD.: The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology （香港科技大学）, 2025, Atmospheric environmental Science
Pengang is a postdoctoral researcher focusing on atmospheric chemistry. His research investigates how typical indoor combustion activities affect reactive nitrogen levels and atmospheric oxidation capacity, both indoors and outdoors. His work also explores aqueous-phase reactions of secondary aerosols in coastal industrial regions, as well as the role of oxygenated organic molecules in secondary organic aerosol formation and new particle formation. Outside the lab, Pengang enjoys table tennis and swimming.

Keyue Zhao
2024-Present
香港理工联培
M.S.: The University of Hong Kong （香港大学）, 2023, Environmental Engineering
Zhao Keyue earned her Master's degree in Environmental Engineering from The University of Hong Kong and is currently pursuing research in indoor aerosol chemistry. Her work focuses on how everyday indoor activities can modify the physicochemical environment and influence organic aerosol formation and transformation. In particular, her PhD research investigates water-related activities, including essential-oil diffusion and other droplet-generating processes, as potential pathways for the formation of highly oxidized organic aerosol. By combining realistic indoor observations with controlled mechanistic experiments, she aims to understand the underlying formation mechanisms, controlling factors, environmental relevance, and oxidative potential of these aerosols. Outside the lab, she enjoys music and traveling.
Fan Cheng
2025-Present
上海交通大学联培
M.S. : Beijing Normal University（北京师范大学）,2025, Global Environmental Change
My research focuses on hourly gaseous air pollution, particularly O3, NO2, and HCHO, using satellite remote sensing and artificial intelligence. In my free time, I enjoy running.
Yiqing Zeng
2025-present
上海交通大学联培
PhD: Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2025–)
B.S.: ZhengZhou University（郑州大学）, 2025, Architecture
My research explores the spatiotemporal dynamics of indoor photochemistry, integrating 3D modeling with measurements to investigate how spatial and temporal variations in indoor light shape radical chemistry, oxidative capacity, and human exposure.

Yihao Han
2025-Present
M.Sc.: University of Manchester, UK, 2024, Pollution and Environmental Control
Yihao studies aerosols from indoor combustion sources, focusing on their particle size characteristics, dynamic evolution, and implications for human exposure. His research explores how these aerosols change over time and what those changes mean for exposure in indoor environments. Outside the lab, he enjoys running and other sports.
Nan Ma
2025-Present
M.S.: Qingdao University of Science and Technology （青岛科技大学） 2025, Materials Science and Engineering
Nan studies indoor air chemistry, focusing on how residential combustion sources form persistent oxygenated volatile organic compound (OVOC) reservoirs on indoor surfaces.Her research quantifies the deposition and subsequent re-emission of OVOCs from common indoor surface materials.
