Prof. Anqi SUN
Education
PhD, HKUST
Staff title
Research Assistant Professor
Dr. Anqi SUN obtained her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Yunnan University and Nankai University in 2016 and 2019, respectively. She earned her Ph.D. degree from HKUST in 2022 and subsequently worked as a postdoctoral researcher at CityU.
Research Interest
Dr. Anqi SUN specializes in the ecotoxicology of metal-based nanomaterials and microplastics. She is particularly interested in studying the environmental transformation and behaviors of emerging pollutants, as well as their biological effects and underlying mechanisms.
