معرفی
Chen Xu is an Associate Research Scientist and Visiting Lecturer in Marine and Coastal Environmental Science at Texas A&M University. He holds a PhD in Oceanography (2011) and MS in Oceanography (2007) from Texas A&M, and a BS in Environmental Science (2004) from Xiamen University.
His research explores environmental colloids, isotope geochemistry, and marine organic matter interactions, with focus on pollutant transport and radionuclide behavior in aquatic systems. Key areas include molecular characterization of natural organic matter and its role in environmental processes.
Recent publications demonstrate advanced analytical approaches to marine biogeochemistry, particularly uranium binding, microplastic impacts, and wetland hydrology. Trends indicate strong emphasis on contaminant fate using mass spectrometry and isotopic techniques.
Awards:
- Association of Former Students Distinguished Graduate Student Award (2012)
He co-leads projects on radionuclide mobility and oil spill impacts, managing interdisciplinary teams for DOE and NSF grants. Current work involves developing predictive models for contaminant behavior in coastal ecosystems.
