Wenzheng Yu, professor at the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences (RCEES), Chinese Academy of Sciences. Dr Yu has been awarded Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship from European Commission, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), Beijing Outstanding Youth Fund, National Youth Thousand Talents Plan, Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award of Harbin Institute of Technology, etc. He is an editor board member of Membranes (IF 4.5)，Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering and Chinese Chemical Letters (IF 6.67) journal, Associate Editor of Frontiers in Environmental Chemistry (IF 4.581); he is on the list of World's Top 2% Scientists (2021, 2022) and world's top 100,000 scientists (2022). He has published more than 110 articles in SCI journals as the first / corresponding author (70 papers with IF> 10), including 1 paper on Nature Sustainability, 1 paper on Communications Chemistry (Nature group), 43 papers on ES&T and Water Research, and 16 papers on Journal of Membrane Science. The published papers include three ESI highly cited paper, have H-index of 38 and total citation >4300 times. Dr Yu has carried out research on reaction mechanisms and innovative technologies of water treatment, especially focusing on the mechanisms of flocculation and control of membrane fouling in drinking water treatment. Dr Yu got his Bachelor Degree at Wuhan University, majoring in Water Supply and Drainage Engineering. Then he got his PhD Degree at Harbin Institute of Technology (Supervisor Prof. Guibai Li, Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering). During the PhD period, Dr Yu studied at University College London as a joint PhD student (Simon Li Scholarship) supervised by Prof. John Gregory/ Luiza Campos. In 2010, he moved to RCEES, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and worked in the group of Prof. Jiuhui Qu (Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering/ American Academy of Engineering-NAE). At the end of 2012, with the support of Prof. Qu, Dr Yu obtained the Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship from the EU (rate<10%), and worked at the Imperial College London (with Prof. Nigel Graham), UK. In January 2018, Dr Yu returned to RCEES and became a group leader.
