He is currently working on smart city and water quality monitoring and modelling. His water quality in smart city project has been supported by Bristol Is Open, Cabot Institute, Jean Golding Institute and UKCRIC.

Dr Dai recived his Msc degree from the Sun Yat-sen university and PhD degree from the University of Bristol. His research interest is the rainfall forecast based on weather radar data and numerical weather prediction, in particular to the uncertainty in the measurement of rainfall using weather radar, radar nowcasting, rainfall forecasting using numerical weather prediction model and data assimilation. Key expertise within the centre exists in meteorology, hazards, radar hydrology and numerical weather prediction model.

Dr Liu’s expertise lies in heavy metal pollution, geochemical-characterization, metal isotopic analysis, wastewater treatment and phytoremediation. She has successfully won funding from National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Natural Science Foundation of the Guangdong Province, China, and Science and Technology Program of Guangzhou, China. So far, she has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers.

Dr Shi’s expertise lies in diffuse pollution modeling, water resources planning and environment policy and strategy management. He has been involved in two international research projects funded by World Bank and JICA. He has developed and applied a entrofication model for Taihu water quality control and coefficient model for Water Framework Directive appraisal. So far, he has published more than 10 research papers.

Dr Wang’s expertise lies in Environmental pollution and isotopic tracing of non-traditional toxic metals like uranium, thorium and thallium; Indoor radon isotope (Rn-222 and Rn-220) measurement and control strategy. He has successfully won funding from National Natural Science Foundation of China. So far, he has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers.

Dr Wang’s expertise lies in agricultural diffuse water pollution, hydrological and hydrogeological modelling and environmental real-time modelling. He has successfully won funding worth £2.7m from Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Environment Agency (EA) and Innovate UK (TSB). His research on the “Nitrate time bomb (NTB)” has changed government behaviour and policy. For example, the EA directly invested in integrating the NTB work into their work on Nitrate-Vulnerable-Zones designation and began to use the NTB model at both the policy and local level for better implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and the EU Nitrates Directive. Beyond this, he has been developing commercial opportunities including recent funding from NERC and Innovate UK. So far, he has published more than 40 peer-reviewed papers, 2 books and 9 BGS technical reports. He has developed 15 pieces of software that are used nationally and internationally.

Dr. Wang’s specialty is Remote Sensing and has rich experiences in remote sensing information quantification, such as radiometric, shadow and haze removal, land surface parameter characterization, surface energy balance and surface evapotranspiration calculation, and its application in hydrology and water resources. He has published more than 40 peer-reviewed papers.

Mr Zhang’s expertise lies in landslide investigating, mapping, monitoring, forecasting and early-warning by using remote sensing, such as advanced InSAR techniques.

Miss Yuanyin Li received her B.Sc. degree in Environmental Science from University of Nottingham, 2018. Since then, Yuanyin has been working towards her Ph.D. at Durham University and the British Geological Survey (BGS). Yuanyin’s research focuses on numerical modelling for predicting groundwater nitrate concentration under projected UK’s land-use-change and climate-change scenarios in the future. The PhD project, which is co-funded by BGS, Jilin University and Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), will provide evidence to policy-makers to support their policymaking in handling the nitrate water pollution issues in England and Wales. Yuanyin is the Deputy General Secretary and Public Relations Officer of the UK China Association of Resources and Environment (UK-CARE). She is also responsible for the administration of the WeChat Official Platform: DearUKCARE.
