Hi and welcome to my website! I go by both Jinyue and Jerry so feel free to choose whichever you find comfortable. I am currently pursuing PhD degree at Princeton WET lab and is scheduled to graduate May, 2025. I am always excited by research that tackles environmental problems, and that provides a better living environment for our future generations. My primary research interests lie in resource recovery from wastewater, water-energy nexus and microbial electrochemical systems, and the interplay between all the aforementioned aspects with the AI boom. Apart from my research, I am broadly interested in making maps (GIS), microbiology, molecular biology and electrochemistry.
In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, swimming, going on trails and singing.
I am a symphonic band enthusiast and was the principal saxophone and president of Tsinghua University Symphonic Band (THUMB). Founded in 1916, THUMB is one of the first western bands in China. During my time as the president of the band, I proudly organized its inaugural overseas performance at University of Washington.
