Adsorption and Degradation of Emerging Contaminants in Soils and Water

Prof. Bin Gao is the Kodak Chair Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA. Prior to this, he was a Professor at the University of Florida, a Research Associate at Cornell University, and a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Yale University. Prof. Gao’s research mainly focuses on biochar, environmental nanotechnology, and contaminant fate and transport. He has an extensive list of publications in the field of environmental science and engineering and has received numerous professional honors, including the Fulbright Distinguished Scholar award, SSSA Fellow, Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher, and the NSF CAREER award.Junhe Lu is a professor in the College of Resources and Environmental Sciences at Nanjing Agricultural University. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from Nanjing University and earned his Ph.D. degree from the University of Washington. Following his doctoral studies, he underwent postdoctoral training at the University of Georgia. Prof. Lu's research is centered on physicochemical treatment processes, and the transformation of contaminants in both natural and engineered systems. He has authored over 120 refereed journal articles.
