Biography

Prof. Junyue Holden Wang leads the 3D lab in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Maine. Our research employs advanced instrumentation (e.g., mass spectrometry, qPCR, laser, pulse radiolysis, microfluidic synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy), innovative physical-chemical processes (e.g., ultraviolet, plasma, nanomaterial catalysts), and data-driven approaches for diverse applications at the water-climate-health nexus, including (i) Decarbonization: conversion of greenhouse gases, (ii) Disinfection: inactivation of viruses and antibiotic resistant bacteria for public health purposes, and (iii) Decontamination: degradation of emerging organic contaminants for environmental sustainability.
