I am Zhengtao SHEN, an associate professor in the School of Earth Sciences and Engineering at Nanjing University. I obtained my bachelor and master’s degrees at Nanjing University, and PhD degree at the University of Cambridge. I did my Postdoctor at the Unversity of Alberta with Killam Fellowship. My research focuses on the remediation of contaminated soil, groundwater, and mining site. I have published over 70 papers on SCI journals such as ES&T. I editored two books about land remediation. I am an associate editor of Soil Use and Management, on the Early Career Editorial Board of Journal of Environmental Sciences, and was a Guest Editor for Environment International. I got the Environmental Science & Technology – Best Paper Award for 2020.
