Fang Fang received her B.Sc. in Chemistry from Minzu University of China in 2014 and got her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Peking University, China in 2025. She is now a postdoctoral fellow in the NRPOP Lab under the co-supervision of Dr. Baiyu (Helen) Zhang and Dr. Bing Chen in the NRPOP lab.
Her research focuses on the transport and fate of emerging contaminants and the associated microbial responses in harsh cold environments, including permafrost and deep sea.
