The Chemistry of Nitrate Radical (NO3) and Dinitrogen Pentoxide (N2O5) in Beijing

Dr. Haichao Wang received a Ph.D. in environmental science at Peking University (PKU) in 2018. Now he is an Associate Professor at Sun Yat-sen University. His research interests include the development of high sensitivity optical instrumentation for laboratory and field studies of atmospheric trace gases (e.g., NO3, N2O5), and the chemical behaviors and impacts of reactive nitrogen species in the atmosphere. He has published more than 20 research papers in this area. He won the President Scholarship for Ph.D. Students of PKU in 2016-2018, and the Qian Yi Environment Award in 2017. His Ph.D. thesis was selected as the outstanding doctor degree dissertations in PKU in 2018, and he won the excellent post-doctor in PKU during 2018-2020.
