Jing Kang has a Ph.D. in Science and is currently an Associate Professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Environment, Harbin Institute of Technology. Meanwhile, she works as a technical consultant for the Harbin Water Supply Group. She earned her Bachelor's degree in July 2007 and her doctoral degree in June 2012, both from Jilin University. She worked as a lecturer at the Department of Municipal Engineering at the Harbin Institute of Technology in July 2012 and as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Urban Environment Engineering, University of Tokyo, in September 2013. Her research focuses on functional materials for water treatment, laws governing pollutant migration and
transformation in water, technologies for control and removal, as well as separation and analysis of environmental micro-pollutants. She has undertaken over 10 projects funded by prestigious organizations, such as the National Natural Science Foundation, sub-projects under the National Key Research and
Development Program, China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, and Heilongjiang Province Postdoctoral Research Start-up Fund. She has published more than 100 SCI papers in international journals including Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, Water Research, Chemical Engineering Journal, and the Journal of Hazardous Materials. Additionally, she has been honored with an award for scientific and technological progress from Heilongjiang Province.
Li Chen is currently a lecturer at the College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Beijing Forestry University. She obtained her Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from Beijing Normal University in 2014, followed by a Master's degree in Environmental Engineering from the same university in 2017. In September 2019, she went to Rice University in the United States for joint training. In 2021, she received her Ph.D. degree in Environmental Engineering from Tsinghua University. Her main research areas include the development of novel catalytic ceramic membranes, membrane system optimization, membrane fouling control, and advanced oxidation technologies for water treatment. She has led or
participated in several representative research projects including the National Natural Science Foundation of China Youth Fund Project (2023-2025), China Postdoctoral Special Support Program (2023-2025), "Research on the Development and Application of Ceramic Membrane Technology in Municipal Water
Treatment" under the Young Talent Program of Science and Technology Think Tank (2022-2023), as well as the 70th batch of China Postdoctoral Science Foundation General Projects (2021-2023).
