My career has not been straightforward. Although I am a chemical engineer, and I'm proud of that, I took a path from chemistry and engineering to one that also involved experimental biology and medicine. This was very unusual many decades ago. In so doing, I met with rejection and ridicule early in my career. However, by going down that path, I was able to make discoveries and inventions that I hope have saved and improved lives, and I've been able to train a great number of people who are going down the road I began traveling over many years ago.

Discriminative sensing for mixture by either fluorescent sensor or other sensors remains a challenge. This issue is attributed to the absence of a separation unit prior to the sensor. Here, we report a new sensing medium, named porous fluorescent monolith, which can separate mixture and meanwhile be integrated into a sensor for discriminative detection.

As global demand for sustainable chemical processes intensifies, seawater, with its vast availability and rich composition, represents a promising resource for advancing green chemical technologies. Seawater can serve as a feedstock or intermediate for producing fuels and chemicals, including hydrogen, chlorine gas and chloride, sodium, magnesium, and carbon-based compounds through specific electrochemical reactions. While extensive studies have been focused on seawater hydrogen production, systematic exploration of its broader electrochemical reactions remains limited.

Microplastics (MPs) pose a major threat to marine life and ecosystems. However, the toxicological effects of MPs on crustaceans which are highly susceptible to MPs pollution are not fully understood. In addition, MPs can serve as the medium for pathogens, increasing the risk of disease outbreaks in shrimp aquaculture.

Whey powder (WP), a dairy by-product with high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), presents challenges due to its high production, low-value utilization, and environmental pollution. Based on the idea of turning waste into treasure, high-value use of WP was studied. Firstly, an engineered Bacillus subtilis co-expressing β-galactosidase (β-Gal) and L-arabinose isomerase (LAI) was constructed, which ultimately yielded 77.
