Linzhu Du

I am specializing in the biogeochemical cycling of organic pollutants and nutrients in aquatic systems. My work primarily focuses on the transport and transformation of emerging contaminants, such as xenoestrogens (BPA and NP), at the sediment-water interface, particularly under complex hydrological conditions like dry-wet cycles.
