Fang-Jie Zhao is a professor of Environmental Science at Nanjing Agricultural University, China. He received his PhD at Newcastle University, U.K. Prior to taking up the current position in 2012, he worked at Rothamsted Research, U.K. for over 20 years. His research focuses on the biogeochemistry of essential trace elements and toxic metals/metalloids in soil-plant systems, molecular mechanisms of trace element uptake by plants, biofortification of essential micronutrients and bioremediation of contaminated soils. He has co-authored two books and published over 400 peer-reviewed journal papers, which have been cited >47,000 times (H index = 122, Web of Science). He is a Highly Cited Researcher designated by Clarivate Analytics (2017 – 2023). He received The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) Award in Agricultural Science and the International Fertilizer Association’s Norman Borlaug Plant Nutrition award in 2022. He is a section editor for Plant and Soil, associate editor for European Journal of Soil Science, editorial advisor for New Phytologist and Environmental Pollution.
