My group is specialized in low-temperature isotope geochemistry. We develop new isotopic tools and apply them to studying key surface processes that control our climate and environment. My group offers the state-of-the-art facilities for geochemistry reserach, including a collision-cell MC-ICP-MS (Sapphire, Nu Instruments), a Triple-quad ICP-MS (iCAP TQ, Thermo), a femtosecond laser ablation system (Teledyne Photon Machines), a class-100 clean lab suite, and other general chemistry labs and equipment. Additional analytical and material characterization instruments are available within the department and on UMN campus.

My group values diversity and is strive to make our group a welcoming place for every motivated student to realize their full potential.

If you are interested, please send me your CV, a brief (max. 2-pages) statement that summarises your research experiences and interests via email: zhengxy [at] umn.edu.
