Jingyi (Christine) Sun recently earned her PhD in Environmental Engineering from the UNSW, supervised by Sci. Prof. T. David Waite. In Nov 2024, she began her role as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the School of Chemical Engineering at UNSW, supervised by Sci. Prof. Liming Dai. During her PhD, she focuses on advanced wastewater treatment technology through cathode-enhanced systems, enabling selective remediation of both inorganic and organic contaminants from wastewater. Currently, her research interest is in designing and developing carbon-based electrodes and scalable electrochemical systems/reactors to transform waste from wastewater and groundwater into valuable products. Jingyi (Christine) also earned her Bachelor of Civil Engineering with First Class Honours from UNSW in 2021.
