Miao Han, Delft University of Technology

 Dr. Miao Han is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Konstanz, Germany, with a PhD in Soil Science from China Agricultural University. She was a CSC-funded visiting scholar at EAWAG (2024–2025). Her research explores microbial community assembly, interspecies interactions, and functional regulation in soil and surface environments. Her work has appeared in journals such as The ISME Journal and ISME Communications. Beyond research, she leads BioNet: Microbial Network, a top Chinese WeChat platform for microbial science outreach.

 Dr. Jingxuan Wang, European Registered Toxicologist, is a Researcher at Wageningen Food Safety Research in the Netherlands. She earned her BSc in Biotechnology and MSc in Food Science from China Agricultural University, followed by a PhD in Toxicology at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), where she also completed her postdoctoral training.

Her work focuses on food and environmental contaminant risk assessment, specializing in in vitro/in silico toxicokinetic modeling and promoting New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for chemical safety evaluation. She has secured and participated in Horizon Europe and EFSA-funded projects, with over ten peer-reviewed publications in the field.

 Dr. Kunyang Zhang is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher at Bayer AG's Early Environmental Impact Assessment Unit in Germany. He holds a PhD in Environmental Chemistry (EAWAG/University of Zurich) and dual master’s degrees in Environmental Engineering (UIUC) and Computer and Information Engineering (UPenn), alongside a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science from Tsinghua University.

His research integrates environmental chemistry and machine learning, focusing on predicting contaminant biotransformation products, developing interpretable AI models for ecological toxicity prediction, and characterizing degradation product structures. His work has been published in journals like Environmental Science & Technology and Bioinformatics.

Dr. Jingxian Yang is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Bern, Switzerland, working on SNSF-funded projects in molecular microbiology. She earned her PhD from the University of Copenhagen (2024), following a master’s from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2017) and bachelor’s from Huazhong Agricultural University (2013).

A member of the Swiss Society for Microbiology (SSM) and ISVM, her research explores phage-bacteria interactions, with a focus on how microbial communities influence staphylococcal phage susceptibility and the phage-driven spread of antibiotic resistance genes. Her work has been published in Cell Reports and other peer-reviewed journals.

 Dr. Bijing Xiong is a Postdoctoral Researcher at ETH Zurich and a former recipient of the ETH Postdoctoral Fellowship (2023–2025). He obtained his BSc in Biology from Yunnan University (2013), MSc in Environmental Science from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Urban Environment (2017), and PhD in Biochemistry from Germany’s Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (2022).

His work focuses on single-cell microbiology and antibiotic resistance, including microfluidic device development, single-cell resistance evolution, and microbial community effects on antibiotic tolerance. He has secured and participated in projects funded by DAAD, SNSF and ETH Zurich, with publications in journals such as Small, Chemosphere and mBio.
