Dr. Wen Zhang’s Team members, Lili Li and Yihan Zhang, attended the 12th U.S. symposium on Harmful Algae in Maine and presented their research. Lili Li, a fourth-year Ph. D. student, delivered an invited presentation titled “A chemical-free magnetophoretic approach for recovering magnetic particles in microalgae removal through magnetic separation”, which is funded by the New Jersey Water Resources Research Institute (Award#: G21AP10595-02). Lili detailed the preparation of functionalized magnetic particles, along with their performance and mechanisms in treating algae-laden water. She also discussed the application of these magnetic particles for recovery and reuse, laying a foundation for coagulant-free algae removal and enabling sustainable separation processes to mitigate harmful algal blooms (HABs).

After the conference, the PhD student and other participants enjoyed delicious seafood at Porthole Restaurant & Pub and had a wonderful time visiting Little and Great Diamond Island. Additionally, Prof. Xuezhi Zhang, Lili’s advisor from her home institution, the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, visited NJIT to explore research collaboration with Prof. Wen Zhang’s lab.
