Menghan Yu was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province. In 2020, he received his PhD degree from Huazhong Agricultural University, during which he was sent to the University of Toronto to study for one year. After graduation, he went to China University of Geosciences to carry out post-doctoral research. He is mainly engaged in the basic research work of the kinetics and thermodynamic mechanism of mineral-water interface reaction, and the application of synthetic clay mineral materials in environmental governance. He has published SCI papers in Crystal Growth & Design and ACS Applied Nano Materials.
