PhD candidate Workpackage 2
Who am I?
I am a PhD student in Wageningen University & Research, starting from September 2024. I did my bachelor in Chemical Engineering in the China campus of Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and my master in Environmental Sciences, specialized in Environmental technology in Wageningen University & Research.
What do I do?
I have had some research experience on bioremediation of soil heavy metal contamination, the application of machine learning in anaerobic wastewater treatment, industrial hydrogen production, and real time failure monitoring of geothermal pump. Now I am happy to walk on a new journey in ESCH-R project to help the health sector in Netherlands to be more circular.
What am I up to during ESCH-R?
I will work on the work package 2 of ESCH-R project, about decision support system for designing transition pathway towards circular hospitals. This will involve identifying the material hotspots in multiple scales and preparing library of circular interventions, which will later be coupled with transition barriers to build a decision support tool. I will work with researchers from different work packages to test the optimized scenario and aim to come up with stepwise advice for implementation.
