Prof. Xinming Wang received his Ph.D. in the State Key Laboratory of Organic Geochemistry (SKLOG) at the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry (GIG), CAS in 1997 and then joined GIG. He had stayed as a visiting scholar/professor in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (1998-1999), University of California at Irvine (2000), Max Plank Institute for Chemistry (2006-2007) and CNRS (2010; 2015). He served as the deputy director of SKLOG since 2012. His expertise and interests are in understanding the fate of atmospheric organics by both field measurements and chamber simulations, including emission characterization, land-air exchange, atmospheric oxidation and formation of secondary products. He is the author of more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific publications, with over 20,000 citations. Prof. Wang was awarded the National Natural Science Award (China, Second Class) in 2006 and the Guangdong Provincial Scientific and Technological Award (First Class) in 2013. He is an associate editor of Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres and Atmospheric Environment.Prof. Yuesi Wang received his doctorate (Ph.D.) at Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1998. He mainly engaged in the experimental observation and theoretical study of atmospheric chemistry and the environment, greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change. He was awarded the "National Science Funding for Distinguished Young scholars", the "Hundred Talent Plan" of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the "Government Special Allowance of the State Council". Dr. Wang has published 500 SCI papers with more than 24,000 citations, and has been authorized 20 national patents and promoted to more than 100 scientific research institutions or enterprises. He has been awarded "National Science and Technology Progress Award" three times (2/15, 2/10, 3/10). Until now, he had supervised and co-supervised more than 100 post-graduate students.
Dr Zifa Wang, Professor at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Professor Wang is a world-renowned leader in the development of air quality models. He played an important role in the development of the CFORS (Chemical weather FORecasting System) model in Japan, and his NAQPMS (Nested Air Quality Prediction Modeling System) is widely used to predict air quality by Chinese government. He has published nearly 400 peer-reviewed publications, with over 19,000 citations, has earned various prestigious awards, including the second-class State Science and Technology Progress Award.
Prof. Jianguo Liu received his doctorate (Ph.D.) at the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999. He has always been engaged in new industrial research on optical monitoring of environmental pollution and optical remote sensing monitoring technology.
