Meibo He
National University of Singapore
The presenting author Dr. Meibo He is a Research Fellow at the NUS Environmental Research Institute (NERI), National University of Singapore (NUS). She obtained her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the NUS in 2023. Her research focuses on the analysis of micro-/nanoplastics and tire wear particles in environmental samples. She has been actively involved in the “Recycled Waste Plastic on Roads for Circular Economy” project, where she investigates the environmental risks and analytical characterization of water quality including microplastics, tires and road particles. Currently, her work emphasizes the detection and identification of tire wear particles in road-related matrices. With a strong background in environmental engineering and expertise in microplastic analysis, she applies advanced spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to examine both the physical and chemical properties of tire-derived particles in road environments.
