Introduction:

Dr. Bai Yanchao is a Professor at College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Yangzhou University. He visited Appalachian State University in 2012 and 2016 as a visiting scholar. He is selected as one of the Outstanding Young Teachers sponsored by the "Blue-Blue Project" of Jiangsu Province, and the "High-Rank Talent" of Yangzhou University.

Professor Bai’s research work covers the areas of soil amendment in saline-alkali land, environmental behavior and risk control of soil heavy metals, and recycling of organic solid waste. Professor Bai has gained and hosted three grants supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China, one sub-project of the National Key Research and Development Program of China, and more than twenty other provincial and ministerial projects.

Professor Bai has published one English monograph and more than eighty scientific papers with thirty being indexed by SCI, and had 4 invention patents being granted. He won the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award of the China Chamber of Commerce and the second prize of the Innovation Achievement Award of the China Industry-University-Research Institute Collaboration Association as the first accomplisher. As a peer reviewer, Professor Bai participated review process for many international academic journals, including "Land Degradation and Development", "Geoderma", "Chemosphere", "Environment International", "Science of the Total Environment", "Journal of Agro-environment" and "Journal of Ecology and Rural Environment", etc.
