Position

Assistant Professor

Education Background

Dr. Ding received her BSc in Environmental Science at Beijing University of Technology in 2004. She earned her MSc degree in Environmental Science at University of Alberta in 2008 in Canada. After that, she worked as an environmental engineer in Ecomark Inc. and a research assistant in University of Alberta for one year. In 2008, she started her Ph.D study in Environmental Engineering at University of Alberta, and obtained the Ph.D degree in 2013. She then joined the Utility group in City of Edmonton as a Project Engineer. Dr. Ding joined Beijing Technology and Business University as an Assistant Professor in 2015.

Research Field/Interests

Dr. Ding focuses on wastewater treatment using physical-chemical technologies. Her past research includes the application of advanced oxidation on the inactivation of pathogens in water and wastewater, and to optimize the reaction and elucidate the mechanisms. She is also interested in sludge dewaterability improvement by using catalytic oxidation. Moreover, Dr. Ding is working on biotoxicity analysis of industrial wastewaters.  

Research Grants

Dr. Ding has received research grants from Beijing Education Committee, the Government of Beijing, and Beijing Technology and Business University.
