Background

Biography:

Dr. Xueqin Zhang is currently a Research Fellow, and an ARC DECRA Fellow at Australian Centre of Water and Environmental Biotechnology (ACWEB, formerly AWMC), and School of Chemical Engineering. He obtained his Ph.D. in 2021 at Advanced Water Management Centre (AWMC) and then worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at ACWEB till November 2023. His research focuses on the physiology and ecology of novel microorganisms in biogeochemical cycling, bioelectrochemistry in carbon (methane) cycles and environmental bioremediation, and greenhouse gas (bio)conversion for value-adding applications. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles in top-tier journals including Nature Microbiology, Nature Communications, Environmental Science and Technology and Water Research. He acted as a Guest Editor of two journals and has been invited as a reviewer for over 10 journals. He serves on the editorial board of Frontiers of Environmental Science Engineering.
