Chen Weiping

Biography

Dr. Weiping Chen graduated from University of California, Riverside and was employed as a professor of Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences since 2009 through the 100 Talents Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His researches mainly focus on evaluating the fates and transport of typical environmental pollutants in the soil-water-plant system and environmental risks associated with water reuse, soil trace element accumulation etc. Dr. Chen published more than 20 scientific papers in recent years and 2 book chapters. Dr. Chen developed three environmental models, STEM single layer and profile distribution model, and ENVIRON-GRO model. As a main author, Dr. Chen completed a technical bulletin on "Safe Application of Reclaimed Water Reuse in the Southwestern United States". The main research interests of Dr. Chen's group are to study the contamination mechanisms of main pollutant and their impacts on urban ecology system, and to develop dynamic prediction systems for urban water pollution and soil pollution and corresponding management practices to improve the regional environmental quality.

Research Interest

Fates and transport of pollutants and ecological risk assessment on regional scale; ecological risks and regulations of reclaimed water reuses; Development and application of environmental models.
