Our Graduates

Dongdong Zhu

MSc in Marine Geosciences
Associate Professor, Beibu Gulf University, China

“I completed my MSc in Marine Geosciences at the University of Haifa (2016–2019) under the supervision of Professors Beverly Goodman-Tchernov and Michael D. Krom. I subsequently earned a dual PhD in Marine Chemistry from Ocean University of China and the University of Western Brittany, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Ocean University of China.

In 2026, I joined Beibu Gulf University as an Associate Professor, where I lead an independent research group studying biogeochemical cycles in tropical marginal seas, with a particular focus on silicon and phosphorus cycling in coastal ecosystems such as mangroves and seagrasses.

I gained exceptional scientific training at the Leon H. Charney School that combined rigorous theory, hands-on fieldwork, and mentorship from leading marine scientists. It developed my core research competencies and provided the indispensable foundation for my career.”
