Dr. Chang'er Chen, Professor in Environmental Science & Technology, the Outstanding Young Scholar at the Environmental Research Institute (ERI), Head of Department of Environmental Science of South China Normal University (SCNU). He received his BSc from Northwest A & F University (2006) and MSc from Dalian University of Technology (2009). He obtained his PhD degree in Environmental Science from Lancaster University, U.K. in 2014, and then worked as research associate at the Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC), Lancaster University for 2 years and as a researcher at the Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry (ACES), Stockholm University (2016 - 2018).
His research area is Environmental Organic Chemistry and Techniques, focusing on 1) development and applications of novel passive sampling techniques, particularly the Diffusive Gradient in Thin-films for organics (o-DGT). He is one of the leading researchers in o-DGT research; 2) Applications of Modern Techniques (e.g. Machine Learning and 3D Printing) in Environmental Science; 3) chemical risk assessment, particularly the occurrence, bioavailability and bioaccumulation of emerging organic chemicals (e.g. PFAS, PPCPs). He developed the abbreviated bioconcentration factor determination methodology (ABCF) with a single dietary exposure coupled to internal benchmarking methods.
He serves as editor for the Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (SCI, IF 2.15, JRC2) (Young Editor, 2021.08-), Water (MDPI, SCI, IF3.10, JRC2) (2021.05-), Frontiers in Environmental Chemistry (2021.04-) and Journal of Environmental and Health Science (2014-2021). He worked as the PI or key participant on the projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Science and Technology Program of Guangzhou, foundation for Outstanding Young Scholars of SCNU, foundation of Lars Hiertas Memory (Sweden), EU CEFIC-LRI, Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM, USA), EU JERICO, EPSRC (UK), DEFRA (UK), ‘863’, ‘973’ Programmes in China, etc. Dr. Chen has published more than 27 peer-reviewed journal articles in top journals such as Environmental Science & Technology, Environmental Science & Technology Letters, Water Research, Journal of Hazardous Materials, Environment International, Science of The Total Environment, etc.，3 of which were selected as (inside) front cover papers.
