Dr.
Gu is currently a Senior Environmental Scientist at South Florida
Water Management District and a guest professor and researcher at
two education and research institutions in China.
He received his Ph. D degree in Oceanography from University
of Alaska-Fairbanks in 1993 and spent three years at University of
Florida for his postdoctoral work.
He is a certified Professional Wetland Scientist by Society
for American Wetland Scientists. His research interest centers at
biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in
freshwaters, food web analysis, wetland ecology and phosphorus
reduction in constructed wetlands dominated by submerged aquatic
vegetation. In his spare time, he is also interested in fish ecology
and freshwater aquaculture. Dr. Gu has published about 25
peer-reviewed articles over a wide range of topics from nutrient
uptake of phytoplankton, carbon and nitrogen cycling, trophic
interactions among aquatic animals to phosphorus removal using
constructed wetlands. His hobbies include playing basketball, poker,
gardening and Chinese literature. Selected
