Jianchu’s 6 day travel in Sri Lanka

Jianchu recently spent an exciting week in Sri Lanka, teaming up with researchers at the University of Peradeniya! From August 12-17, he worked with Professor Parakrama Karunaratne’s team to push forward the Maritime Silk Road Air Pollution Monitoring Initiative. During the visit, Jianchu engaged in detailed discussions with Prof. Karunaratne on air sampling plan for the project. Working collaboratively with members of Prof. Karunaratne’s team, Jianchu successfully completed the assembly and preliminary testing runs of air samplers scheduled for deployment.

While conducting sampling work, Jianchu also had the opportunity to experience Sri Lankan culture by visiting the University of Peradeniya campus. At Prof. Karunaratne’s suggestion, he further explored famous sites—the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (where a tooth of Lord Buddha is enshrined), and the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.

Shizhen Back in Britain

During July 19–29, Shizhen revisited the UK for the first time in nine years since her graduation. She spent about one week at the Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, to carry out a joint study on TOMPs air sampling, where she met with Prof. Kevin Jones and Prof. Andy Sweetman. Later, she visited Prof. Richard Thompson at the University of Plymouth, recognized as the “father of microplastics,” to discuss collaborative research on plastic pollution. This memorable trip not only brought back fond memories of her student days but also reinforced long-term collaborations and opened new opportunities for future research.
