Xiaoxuan Wang is currently pursuing a Master’s of Science degree in environmental engineering under the advising of Dr. Ma. She previously obtained her Bachelors in environmental engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University in China.
Xiaoxuan’s graduate research focuses on the effects of different concentrations of nitrate and perchlorate on arsenic speciation in rice rhizosphere and plant tissues, and the interactions of arsenic with surrounding redox active elements in greenhouse investigations. Her undergraduate research focused on the effects of an ultrasonic field on the characteristics of lead dioxide electrodes and electro-catalysis degradation of desorbed concentrated organic solution with a titanium-based PbO2 anode.
