Biography

Dr. Lingdong Kong is an Associate Professor and doctoral advisor in Department of Environmental Science & Engineering, Fudan University. In 2005, he completed his PhD in Physical Chemistry at Fudan University, and then joined the Department of Environmental Science & Engineering of Fudan University as a lecturer in Environmental Science. From Oct. 2007 to Dec. 2008, he conducted postdoctoral research in the Department of Physics at Kuopio University in Finland. From Jul. 2015-Jan. 2016, he also served as a visiting scholar at the Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse et l'Environnement de Lyon in France. His research interests include atmospheric chemistry and air pollution, as well as photocatalytic materials and their applications. Currently, he mainly focuses on atmospheric droplet photochemistry, atmospheric photosensitization chemistry, sources of atmospheric peroxides, oxidation potential of atmospheric SOA and its contribution to atmospheric oxidation capacity, etc. He presided over five General Projects of the National Natural Science Foundation and one sub-project of the National Science and Technology Support Program, and participated in Major Project of the National Natural Science Foundation, National key R & D programs, and the project of Shanghai science and technology innovation action plan, as well as some research projects of local institutions and government departments. He has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers.
