About

Dr Jianxin Yin is one of the experts in the field of atmospheric aerosol monitoring and characterisation. She has gained tremendous experiences during the past 13 years of research on use of modern aerosol field monitoring and modern laboratory analytical equipment and on air quality data analyses and modelling.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Environmental Health Science (University of Birmingham)
  • BSc (Hons) in chemistry (Hebei Normal University, China)

Biography

Dr Jianxin Yin obtained her BSc in chemistry and worked as a university lecture assistant and later as a university lecturer in China before she came to England. She gained her PhD in Environmental Sciences from the University of Birmingham and then started working on air pollution with the Division of Environmental Health and Risk Management.
