    Qing Zhan is the ESR-10 for MANTEL Project, with the title "Mitigating negative impacts of extreme events on the sustained provision of lake ecosystem service". We aim at combining laboratory experiment (Mesocosm) with field data to determine the impacts of extreme events (e.g. heatwave, storm) on eutrophication in shallow lakes, and developing a compromising mitigation technique for sustainable lake management in a changing world. Qing is interested in data mining, time series analysis, and lake physical and ecological modeling.

    Qing has a background in mathematics and studied Ecological Engineering at the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences for his master, where he focused on water quality modelling and reservoir management. In his second year, he worked as a student assistant handling high-frequency monitoring data of a reservoir observatory system (RRO) at the Helmholtz Central for Environmental Research, Magdeburg (UFZ). Later on, he continued his master thesis at UFZ investigating the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) dynamics in a drinking water reservoir in the Harz Mountains, Central Germany. For mitigating the DOC loading from this reservoir, he has constructed an optimization model including a decision-making module and a DOC dynamics simulation module, and then interpolated the high-frequency data into this model. Qing's reservoir operation model has been recognized with great interest in a presentation at the responsible reservoir authority (Talsperrenbetrieb Sachsen-Anhalt), and he has been awarded Otto-von-Guericke Scholarship during the last year of his master program  (see news). Since July 10, 2020, Qing started to work at the AqE department of NIOO as a PhD candidate on the project titled "management of extreme events in lakes and catchments" (MANTEL-project), supervised by Dr. Lisette De Sernopont Domis of the working group "Aquatic Knowledge Centre Wageningen" (AKWA).
