We had the pleasure of interviewing #ESPI Emerging Investigator Dr Zhenyu Tian from the Northeastern University College of Science. ? Zhenyu’s article titled “In-depth chemical profiling of tire and artificial turf crumb rubber: aging, transformation products and transport pathways” focuses on the chemical profiling of crumb rubber in tire and artificial turf at different ages. ? ?? Read the #OpenAccess paper at https://lnkd.in/ep3RrKQw ? In his recent interview, Dr Tian shares insights into his research evolution, his enjoyment of working with students and motivations for answering new questions about organic contaminants. He is particularly intrigued by the question “What contaminants have the most significant impact under real environmental conditions?” ? Zhenyu shares his experience of developing a career as a scientist - " I see myself/my career as an experiment. We make hypotheses and we put in effort that we think are correct and then see if it all works. If not, we acknowledge it’s a negative result. If someday I am not working as a scientist, that means my experiment didn’t end up working." ? ?? Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/e6NDf2GM
