Biography

Dr. Tong Zhou obtain his Ph.D. in soil sciences from the Nanjing Agricultural University in 2014, followed by working as postal doctoral at Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is currently an associate professor. His research interests focus on the soil heavy metal pollution survey and remediation, and the application of safety utilization techniques.  He has received funds from the Natural Science Foundation of China and the Chinese National Key Research and Development Program. He has published 26 papers on Plant and Soil, Environmental Pollution, and other peer-reviewed journals.
