Biography

Wenjie Ren, Male, born in 1986 in Qianan, Hebei Province, Ph.D., Associate Professor. He acquired the bachelor’s degree in July, 2007 from the Department of Environmental Engineering, Northeastern University and the doctor’s degree in July, 2013 from the Department of Environmental Science, Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang. During the term of January to December, 2012, he joined the cooperative Research and PhD Study in Department of Ecological Chemistry, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Leipzig, Germany. Since July, 2013, he has been working in the Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is mainly specialized in the researches on the ecological effect of nanomaterials in soil, the principle and technology of nanobioremediation of contaminated soil, and the rhizoremediation of contaminated soil. He has hosted more than ten projects. He has published more than 50 academic papers, of which more than 30 papers were published in the refereed SCI journals. He has applied for 5 patents for invention, of which two patents have been authorized. Besides, he also participated in compiling three monographs and one chapter for a foreign book, and establishing one national standard as the second author.
