is an independent researcher and senior environmental scientist who focuses on the biogeochemistry of soil, water, plant, and solid wastes, including phosphorus. Rachel Carson's Silent Spring inspired him to learn soil science. He holds an MSc in Soil Ecology from Nanjing Agricultural University, China, and a Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Oceanography at the University of Miami, USA. In 2007, Dr. Huang observed the catalytic phenomena of the phosphate ester hydrolysis in aged inorganic iron solutions and iron oxide nanomaterials under the aqueous environment with Michaelis-Menten kinetics behavior and suggested a hypothesis on the inorganic enzyme (
