Chunyan Tang

Chunyan Tang is a University Lecturer at the Department of Materials Science and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Tampere University. Her research focuses on environmental engineering with emphasis on water quality management, sediment dynamics, and hydrodynamic modeling. She has conducted extensive studies on Lake Taihu, investigating sediment resuspension mechanisms, algal bloom control, and the impact of human activities such as ship traffic and water diversion.

Her work integrates field measurements, numerical modeling, and laboratory analyses. Key contributions include advancing understanding of turbulent burst dynamics in shallow lakes, evaluating ecological risks of heavy metal pollution, and developing novel sigma coordinate systems for hydrodynamic simulations. She collaborates on projects addressing eutrophication mitigation, sediment remediation, and climate change impacts on water resources.

Notable methodologies in her research include ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter) measurements for suspended sediment quantification, coupled hydrodynamic-water quality modeling, and kinetic analysis of pyrolysis processes for waste conversion. Her studies often combine environmental chemistry, fluid dynamics, and geospatial analysis to provide interdisciplinary solutions for complex water systems.
