Biography:
Dr. Sadiq Naveed works as a postdoctoral fellow at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Urban Environment in Xiamen. Dr. Sadiq received his Ph.D. in Environmental Biology from Nanjing Agricultural University in Nanjing, China, in 2020 and served as a Boya Postdoctoral Fellow at Peking University in Beijing, China, from 2021 to 2023. He has been the primary author on seven manuscripts and co-author on six, all of which have been published in well-known peer-reviewed journals in his field and have received over 300 citations. He has served as a reviewer for several peer-reviewed journals, including Environmental Pollution, Environmental Management, and Soil Biology and Biochemistry.
Dr. Sadiq's research interests include understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing the fate processes of environmental contaminants (organic and inorganic) and assessing the biogeochemical cycling and ecological impacts of natural organic matter and biomacromolecules. His major research focuses on investigating the development of microbial extracellular polymeric substances mechanisms, effects on microbial cell surfaces, and environmental contaminant's environmental fate, specifically to develop biomacromolecules that could be used to detoxify and recover environmental contaminants.
