Nijing Wang

Dr. Nijing Wang is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Atmospheric Chemistry Department at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC) in Mainz, Germany. Her academic journey includes a Ph.D. from Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz and the Paul Crutzen Graduate School at MPIC, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, as well as a master’s degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Her research focuses on the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in atmospheric chemistry, indoor air quality, and their applications in breath analysis and inhalation toxicology, utilizing advanced real-time measurement techniques. Beyond her research, Dr. Nijing Wang is passionate about science communication, regularly contributing articles on climate change topics to China’s leading science platform, Guokr, to make complex scientific findings accessible to the public.

"I aim to lead a research group dedicated to investigating the complex roles of VOCs in air quality and human health. My goal is to integrate insights from atmospheric chemistry, environmental science, and health research to advance our understanding of VOCs and their impacts across disciplines. With my multidisciplinary experience and a strong history of collaboration, I am committed to mentoring future scientists and fostering partnerships to address challenging scientific questions. Through this work, I hope to make a meaningful contribution to both scientific progress and society."
