In June 2021, Prof. Wang ZHENG was awarded "Emerging Investigator Series" by International Association of GeoChemistry (IAGC). The aim of the Series is to highlight excellent work by independent researchers in their early career that bring new insights into the field of geochemistry or to promote geochemical applications.
Wang Zheng is a "Peiyang scholar" professor of the School of Earth System Science at Tianjin University. He graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China with a B.S. degree, and received his PhD degree from Trent University (Canada). He has been a postdoctoral fellow at Oak Ridge National Lab and University of Toronto, and has worked as a research associate at Arizona State University. His research area is metal stable isotope geochemistry. Particularly, he focuses on the mechanism of metal isotope fractionation, the application of mercury isotopes in tracing the biogeochemical cycle of mercury, and the application of metal isotopes as proxies to understand the evolution of Earth's environment and life. He received the 18th "Hou Defeng" young scientist award from the Chinese Society for Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry in 2020. His recent paper entitled “Mercury stable isotopes reveal the sources and transformations of atmospheric Hg in the high Arctic” was published in Applied Geochemistry, and is featured with the Emerging Investigator Series.
