I have been a principal investigator or co-investigator for 22 research grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and State Personnel Ministry of China.  My early research (1985-1992) focused on laboratory-scale experimental and theoretical investigations of environmental physicochemical processes of trace metals on the surfaces of organic matter, clay minerals, and soils.  My recent work emphasized on biogeochemical processes governing the behavior of inorganic and organic contaminants in soils and freshwater.  My recent research has involved in distribution, source, sorption, bioaccumulation, and bioavailability of organic contaminants in soils and sediments.
