Three Graduates Celebrate at Degree Conferment Ceremony

On the morning of June 9, three graduates, Tian Lele(田乐乐), Ma Jianchu(马建初) and Li Yifan(李一凡), from the Air-ormics Group attended their degree conferment ceremony, officially marking the completion of their academic journey. Director Wang Qiang (王强) presided over the ceremony, performing the tassel-turning ritual and presenting the diplomas, symbolizing their formal graduation.

Following the ceremony, Professor  Gan and Professor Shi Zhen, along with all members of the Air-ormics Group, joined the three graduates for commemorative photos at several significant locations: the Sampling Building lobby, the bulletin board of the published papers by the group, and in front of the “Old Comrade” instruments—a cherished tradition within the research group. The event not only celebrated the graduates’ achievements but also reinforced the strong bonds and enduring traditions of the group.

Traditional Celebration Trip to Yuyinshanfang

On the afternoon of Jun 3, following a cherished group tradition, most members of the research team visited Yuyin Shanfang (余荫山房) to celebrate the successful completion of doctor and master degrees by Tian Lele(田乐乐), Ma Jianchu(马建初) and Li Yifan(李一凡). This marked the fourth time the group has traveled to Yuyin Shanfang to immerse themselves in its traditional ambiance of family values and scholarly heritage.

Though the faces change each year and new graduates take the spotlight in photos, the smiles and heartfelt emotions remain the same. Against the elegant backdrop of the villa’s grand architecture, the group took commemorative photos with each graduate. Later, they explored the exquisite garden landscapes, creating lasting memories.

The team extends its warmest wishes to the graduates for a bright and prosperous future. May they continue to shine in their next endeavors! At the same time, current students are encouraged to draw inspiration from this academic achievement and strive for new heights in their own research journeys!

19th POPs Forum in Chongqing

On May 17–18,  Gan, Shizhen, and several members of the Air-Omics group attended the 19th Forum on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), held in Chongqing.

Prof. Gan delivered two invited presentations in separate sessions. In the session on Environmental Behavior and Transformation of Organic Pollutants, chaired by Prof. Sun Hongwen, he presented on the observational study of the coupling between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), optical properties, and toxicity in atmospheric particles. In the session on Environmental Fate of Emerging Pollutants in the Atmosphere and Ocean, chaired by Shizhen, Prof. Gan gave a second talk on regional source–sink processes of emerging atmospheric pollutants.

Shizhen shared her latest work on the environmental fate of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in urban air. Lele presented on 6PPD-quinone as a robust marker for tire wear particles: validation and application using nationwide road air samples. Jianchu reported on pollution characteristics and sources of micro/nanoplastics and chlorinated paraffins in Chinese roadside airborne particles. Yifan discussed pollution characteristics, deposition fluxes, and influencing factors of micro/nanoplastics in urban snowfall. Meanwhile, Weiru presented a study on the potential sources and aquatic fate of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in typical Chinese salt lakes, in a session focused on short- and ultra-short-chain PFASs.

We were especially delighted to reconnect with several former group members, including Tian Lin, Zhen Zhao, and Ruijie Zhang—turning this academic forum into a warm reunion. For us, the  POPs Forum felt not only like a platform for scientific exchange but also a moment of shared memories and lasting bonds. We sincerely appreciated the heartfelt hospitality from Fengwen Wang and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Chongqing, both academically enriching and personally memorable.
