Personal Profile

Kunfu Pi joined the School of Environmental Studies, China University of Geosciences in 2020. He received his B.Eng. in Applied Chemistry in 2011 and his Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering in 2016 from China University of Geosciences at Wuhan. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Ecohydrology Research Group, University of Waterloo, Canada.

His research focuses on the sources, environmental fate, transport, eco-environmental effects and health impacts of biologically significant trace elements (BIOSITE) and geogenic contaminants, spanning a spectrum of research themes from the smart, nano(bio)technology-based monitoring of BIOSITE in water and soil environments to their hydrobiogeochemical cycles across multiple observational scales combined with predictive modeling, and the development of novel in-situ remediation and management technologies for BIOSITE and geogenic contaminants in soil and groundwater systems. His research interest has recently been extended to cold-region hydrobiogeochemistry that employs multiple experimental and modeling tools to shed light on the impacts of interacted climate change and agricultural activities on soil and groundwater qualities in the world's cold regions.

Research Group

Hydrobiogeochemistry Research Group

Hydrobiogeochemistry Research Group at CUG focuses on the sources, environmental fate, transport, eco-environmental effects and health impacts of biologically significant trace elements (BIOSITE) and geogenic contaminants, spanning a spectrum of research themes from the smart, nano(bio)technology-based monitoring of BIOSITE in water and soil environments to their biogeochemical cycles across multiple observational scales combined with predictive modeling, and the development of novel in-situ remediation and management technologies for BIOSITE and geogenic contaminants in soil and groundwater systems.
Hydrobiogeochemistry Research Group sincerely welcomes undergraduate students, postgraduates and early-career researchers who show interest in general hydrobiogeochemistry and water-soil pollution and prevention.
