Chen Wang

Chen Wang serves as a Research Fellow (Postdoc) and Research Assistant at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Section for Environmental Chemistry and Physics within the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen. His work focuses on developing advanced materials for environmental remediation, particularly in water and soil pollution contexts.

Dr. Wang earned his Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen in 2023 with the thesis "Algal biochar catalysts for oxidation of fluoroquinolones and water disinfection". His research expertise centers on synthesizing nanomaterials and biochar catalysts for targeted pollutant degradation.

His primary research interests include Environmental Chemistry, Water Treatment, Pollutant Removal, Nanomaterials, Biochar Catalysis, and Heavy Metal Remediation. He has pioneered methods for antibiotic oxidation using cyanobacterial biochar and engineered nano-adsorbents for cadmium sequestration, demonstrating exceptional removal efficiency in contaminated systems.

Analysis of his 2019-2023 publications reveals a concentrated research trajectory in biochar-mediated advanced oxidation processes for antibiotic degradation and heavy metal immobilization. His work consistently bridges materials science with practical environmental solutions, emphasizing catalytic mechanisms and adsorption kinetics for water purification.

Dr. Wang operates within the Section for Environmental Chemistry and Physics, a research unit dedicated to innovative approaches for pollution monitoring and remediation through chemical and physical methodologies.
