Dust, Aerosols and Heavy Haze over China

Dr. Guoshun Zhuang received his B.S and M.S. degrees in Chemistry and Physical Chemistry from East China Normal University and Fudan University, Shanghai, China, in 1967 and 1981, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in Atmospheric Chemistry from University of Rhode Island, USA, in 1990. Dr. Zhuang has been a Professor in Beijing Normal University since 1998 and in Fudan University since 2004. Dr. Zhuang focuses on the research of atmospheric chemistry, especially in atmospheric environment and aerosol science. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed research papers in those prestigious international journals, such as Nature, JGR, ACP, AE, and EST. Two of his papers was among the ten most cited papers in the past five years of the respective journal. He was a leading recipient of National Natural Science Award of China in 2012 with his research of "The formation mechanism of the pollution aerosols and the impact on the air-quality in China". He is recognized as one of the leading scientists in the field of atmospheric environment in China.
