Hanqing (Han) Fan joined Prof. Menachem Elimelech’s group as a postdoctoral associate in August 2022. His research focus is on ion-selective membranes and membrane-based processes for hypersaline water.

Prior to joining the lab, He earned his Ph.D. degree in Environmental Engineering from Columbia University in 2022. His Ph.D. dissertation, advised by Prof. Ngai Yin Yip, was about developing ion-selective membrane technologies at the water-energy nexus. Before the Ph.D., he also had research experience related to environmental microbiology/biotechnology.
Outside of work, he enjoys playing guitar, running, and swimming.
