Dr. Wei (Vivienne) Wang is an associated professor at the Institute of Nuclear-Agricultural Science, Zhejiang University, China. She obtained her PhD degree through join-training at Zhejiang University, China, and the University of California, Riverside. Her research interests and activities mainly focus on the use of isotopic tracing techniques in environmental science, including 1) environmental fate and risk assessment of organic contaminants, i.e., pesticides, PBDEs, antibiotics; 2) processes of organic contaminants in an ecosystem; 3) biotic and abiotic degradation/metabolism, adsorption, leaching, and bound residue formation. She serves as an editor for Science of the Total Environment, Journal of Nuclear Agricultural Science, and Isotope (in Chinese). She has published more than 60 peer-reviewed scientific papers, and her publications have been cited more than 1000 times. Her research contributes to the development of environment-friendly pesticides (i.e., helping cycloxaprid, benzene kresoxim-methyl, and pyribambenz-propyl to obtain their official registration in China), and also contributes to the reduction and remediation of organic pollutants in agricultural fields.
