Hello to

Nan Xu

PhD Student

Nan Xu is employed as a postdoc in the research group Emission Measurement and Mitigation from Agriculture (EMMA), in the section Air Quality and Emission Engineering, from 1 May.

Nan is from China and comes from a position as a PhD student at the Department of Agroecology, where she worked with life cycle assessments and nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture.

At BCE, Nan will contribute with quantification of the effects of nitrification inhibitors and biochar on ammonia emissions following the application of manure.

We look forward to welcoming Nan to Air Quality and Emission Engineering.

Nan will have Campus Viborg as her primary workplace.
