Fan Ye, a master student from Yangzhou, Jiangsu Prov. China, grew up in the era when china experienced the economic boom and simultaneously suffered from serious environmental issues. Witnessing the beautiful natural sceneries corroded year by year, I determined to major in environmental engineering. After the memorable college life in Huazhong University of Science & Technology, Boulder became my next stop for graduate study. His current research focuses on the advanced oxidation processes, specifically in catalyst-induced Fenton reaction and ozonation. Besides research, I enjoy calligraphy, cooking, reading, movies & music, and all kinds of sports. If you have any questions or simply want to make a friend, contact me: fanyewuji@gmail.com
