Dr. Zaid Ulhassan is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the College of Agriculture and Biotechnology, Institute of Crop Science, Zhejiang University, China. In 2020, he was awarded with the International Postdoctoral Exchange Fellowship supported by China Postdoc Council and Zhejiang university, China. He received his PhD on “environmental stress physiology of plants and antioxidants metabolism” from the College of Agriculture and Biotechnology, Institute of Crop Science, Zhejiang University, China with the Zhejiang University Scholarship. Primarily, his research work is focused on the physiological, biochemical and molecular analysis of field crops in response to environmental stress conditions. Besides, he has published 6 book chapters (as first author) with reputed publishers and targeted the important aspects of plant stress responses and adaptations to environmental stresses. He has attended different international conferences and presented posters in numerous international meetings. He is actively involved in reviewing papers for international journals. Dr. Yasir Hamid is working as an International Exchange Postdoc Fellow at College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Zhejiang University from May 2021. In 2020, he received his PhD from Zhejiang University, China under Two High Doctoral Scholarship program of Zhejiang University. Dr. Hamid’s research focuses on agro-environmental contamination by potentially toxic elements such as cadmium, lead, arsenic, copper and chromium. His work expertise includes plant nutrition, soil chemistry and environmental sciences with specific focus on abatement of heavy metal risks and their remediation technologies. Dr. Hamid has authored around 65 peer reviewed papers in reputable international journals as a first and co-author. He has also delivered oral and poster presentations in international conferences held in Asian and European countries. Dr. Hamid is a regular reviewer of several international journals of various publishing groups. Dr. Hamid is currently collaborating with reputable scientists of environmental science field from Oman, Australia, United States, Germany and Canada for various writing projects.Prof. Weijun Zhou is a Full Professor (Qiushi Distinguished Professor) in the College of Agriculture and Biotechnology, Institute of Crop Science, Zhejiang University, China.
