Resume: Welcome
Intro

Holding a PhD in analytical chemistry, I have always been driven by my motivation to contribute to the protection of our environment and to develop smarter measures to mitigate pollution. As a creative data enthusiast, I strive to expand my knowledge in the areas of chemometrics, applied machine learning, and Big Data Analysis. As a researcher and environmental consultant, I aspire to understand our environment and help curb environmental pollution. I believe that in today’s world, both environmental monitoring through high-quality data and translating data into valuable insights are critical and can be achieved efficiently, especially through interdisciplinary and collaborative teamwork. My personal agenda is to use my skills to help make the world a little better every day.
