Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fengjiao Liu | Environmental Chemistry | Environmental Chemistry Award

Minnan Normal University | China

Prof. Dr. Feng-jiao Liu is an accomplished environmental chemist and Associate Professor at Minnan Normal University, where she also serves as a Master’s supervisor. Since joining the university, she has established herself as a leading researcher in marine environmental science and ecological chemistry, with a primary focus on the ecological risk assessment of coastal environmental changes and the biogeochemical cycling of trace elements in marine systems. Her research explores critical environmental issues such as microplastic pollution, eutrophication, petroleum hydrocarbon contamination, and antibiotic residues, emphasizing their combined impacts on marine ecosystems, trace metal bioavailability, and carbon sequestration processes. Prof. Liu’s pioneering studies on the interactions between nanoplastics, heavy metals, and phytoplankton have provided vital insights into the changing dynamics of marine biogeochemistry in the era of global climate change. Prof. Liu has published numerous high-impact research papers in leading international journals, including Journal of Hazardous Materials, Science of the Total Environment, Chemosphere, and Marine Chemistry. Her works are widely recognized for their innovation and scientific depth, addressing global environmental challenges with quantitative, mechanism-based approaches. Beyond academic publications, she holds three national patents, including methods for detecting microplastics in living organisms and evaluating trace metal bioavailability, demonstrating her strong commitment to applied research and environmental monitoring technologies. Her interdisciplinary expertise bridges analytical chemistry, marine ecology, and environmental risk science, contributing to the sustainable management of coastal and oceanic environments. Through her research, mentorship, and innovation, Prof. Liu continues to advance the understanding of pollutant interactions in marine ecosystems, making significant contributions to the global field of environmental chemistry and ocean sustainability.
