He earned a master’s degree in Environmental Science from Wageningen University in 2021. During his master’s period, he worked in micropollutant removal by ozonation and ammonium recovery from wastewater.

In the RecaP project (Capture, recycling and societal management of phosphorus in the environment), Yudong takes the work of ESR 6 “P and Fe recovery from iron phosphate materials”.
