Sujie Qin's postdoctoral research focuses on the fate and transport of organic contaminants in the environment, and specifically on biological and chemical factors controlling DDE dechlorination rates on Palos Verdes Shelf. During her Ph.D study, her specific area was on the enantioselective degradation of pyrethroids, one class of insecticides in soils and sediments.

Education

  • Ph.D., Environmental Sciences, University of California, Riverside, California (2007)
  • BS, Environmental Science and Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin, China (2000)
