Zheng, Wang 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 in 2004, and from Trent University (Canada) with a PhD degree in 2010. 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 has published more than 80 peer-reviewed papers on top journals such as PNAS, Nature Communications, Environmental Science and Technology, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, with more than 2600 citations. His current research projects are: 1. Reconstruction of the co-evolution history of Earth and life using redox sensitive metal isotopes; 2. Experimental and theorectical studies on metal isotope fractionation mechanisms; 3. tracing the sources, transport and transformation of contaminants in the environment using stable isotopes. He has received a series of awards including the 18th "Hou Defeng" young scientist award from the Chinese Society for Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry, and the 2021 Emerging Investigator Award from the International Association of Geochemistry (IAGC). He is an editorial board member of the international journal "Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology".
