Prof. Jianmin Chen Conference Chair

  • Distinguished Professor at Fudan University
  • Foreign Fellow of the Academy of Europe
  • Director of the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Atmospheric Particle Pollution and Prevention (LAP3)

Jianmin Chen is the Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry at Fudan University and the Director of the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Atmospheric Particle Pollution and Prevention (LAP3). In 2021, he was honored as a Foreign Fellow of the Academy of Europe. His research interests mainly focus on atmospheric chemistry and the impact on air quality and public health. He leads one of the pioneers in atmospheric sciences in China, works on the control severe haze episodes often occurred in China. His group is working on the field observation and laboratory study of the nucleation, biomass burning, and haze formation mechanism. In his group, a series of advanced instruments has been built up such as self-designed aerosol chamber and on-line versatile aerosol concentration enrichment system (VACES) for bio-toxic aerosol analysis, wide-range particle spectrometer, LC Q Tof-MS, GCxGC Tof-MS, ATOFMS, TDMA, Laser-CRDS, Nephelometer et al., to investigate size distribution, hygroscopicity, optical property and chemical composition in PM2.5, Cloud, Fog and Frost. He has understood the evolution of inorganic secondary aerosol with organic matter in air quality and its links with biomass burning, coal-combustion, ships emission and fireworks. His made a great achievement to significantly decrease haze episode days, particularly because of biomass burning and Chinese Spring Festival fireworks, after his research report has been adopted to air pollution control strategy.

Prof. Chen has published over 460 papers, citation times 12,200+, H-index 56, 34 Chinese patents and 2 USA patents. He is PIs of 23 projects founded by National Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Education of China, et al.. Prof. Chen has served on many panels including NSFC since 2005. He is currently Associate Editors for the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmosphere, Science of the Total Environment and Heliyon Environment, and editorial board members for several other international journals in related fields. He is a member of IUGG-China Group, IGAC-China Group. He received many honors and awards including the Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher 2020, Chevalier dans L'ordre des Palmes Cadémiques in 2015, State Council Special Allowance Expert by the State Council of the People's Republic of China in 2015, Baosteel Distinguished Teacher Award in 2010, the 1st Rank Award of Natural Sciences Achievement by the Ministry of Education of China in 2009, and the 1st Rank Award of Teaching by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission in 2017.

Prof. Hugh Coe Conference Chair

  • Professor at the University of Manchester
  • Director of the Manchester Environmental Research Institute

Hugh Coe is Professor of Atmospheric Composition at The University of Manchester, Director of the Manchester Environmental Research Institute and visiting Professor at Fudan University. His research interests focus on quantifying processes responsible for air pollution and effects on regional climate.  He has led and participated in numerous large international field studies to study amongst others air pollution in India and China, biomass burning, and trans-boundary air pollution. He has led a large number of studies to investigate pollution in the UK, including the recent UKRI OSCA (Integrated Research Observing System for Clean Air) project, part of the CleanAir Strategic Priorities Fund. OSCA has supported the 3 UK air pollution supersites in London, Manchester and Birmingham, which continue to receive support through Defra. He is a co-investigator of the £7M NERC Digital Solutions Hub. Hugh is the site lead for the Manchester component of the NERC National Centre for Atmospheric Sciences and is the Chair of the Scientific Community Advisory Group of the mid-life upgrade project to the UK atmospheric research aircraft. He has published over 330 peer review papers and has a h index of 81. In 2014 and 2018 he was named as one of the 100 Most Highly Cited Researchers in Geosciences and was the 2022 Recipient of the Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal from the European Geophysical Union.

Dr. Dawei Hu Conference Co-Chair

  • Research Fellow at the University of Manchester

Dawei Hu earned his PhD in Professor Jianmin Chen’s group at Fudan University and is currently a Research Fellow in the group led by Professors Gordon McFiggans and Hugh Coe at the University of Manchester. His research has focused on investigating the hygroscopicity, optical properties, morphology, and mixing states of black carbon aerosols emitted from wood combustion and diesel engines. His current project involves developing particle generation protocols from different indoor and outdoor sources (diesel engine, wood combustion, and cooking emissions) for in vivo and in vitro studies.
