Wenxing Wang, born in October 1927, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a tenured professor and president of the Environment Research Institute at Shandong University. His research focuses on atmospheric environment chemistry, air pollution and control. He graduated from the Chemistry Department of Shandong University (Qingdao) in 1952. After getting his bachelor’s degree, he worked in research institutes (subordinated to National Ministry of Chemical Industry) in Shenyang, Beijing and Tianjin until the mid-1970s. During that time, he mainly engaged in studies of catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons, applications of the radioactive isotope tracer technique, the electromagnetic pump flow circulation method, the hydrocarbon catalytic oxidation reaction mechanisms and kinetics. His research findings are extremely valuable for the development of industrial catalysts for hydrocarbon oxidation. He is the author of Industrial Catalysis (1978) which is the first industrial catalysis book in China. In the late 1970s, he transitioned to environmental chemistry study (atmospheric photochemistry, precipitation chemistry, urban and regional air pollution, especially PM2.5 and haze chemistry). He has led and participated in a number of national science and technology research projects. His research results about the causes, spatial/temporal distributions of acid rain; the formation mechanisms of ozone; aerosols and haze have great significance in atmospheric environment legislation, as well as in air pollution control. At Shandong University, he has been heading up the Environmental Quantum Chemical Computing Group for over 10 years. He supervises research on the degradation and formation mechanisms of POPs in the open environmental system, establishing new theoretical models and research methods, and has achieved a series of important results.

He is one of the main leaders of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences since its establishment. He serves as the committee member of the National Environmental Advisory Committee, the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development, State Environmental Protection Administration of  Science and Technology; the executive director of the 1st to 4th Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences; director of the China Environment Award committee;  chief editor of the China Environmental Science journal;  advisor of the Acta Scientiae Circumstantiae journal; committee member of the international conference on the Atmospheric Sciences and Application to Air Quality (ASAAQ); and associate editor of Environment Research. He was the principle investigator of 6 Ministry of Science and Technology projects, 2 National Natural Science Foundation of China projects and 1 Ministry of Education project. By May 2015, he has published more than 300 research papers and 6 books. He won the National Science and Technology Progress Award (1st prize once, 2nd prize three times), and multiple provincial and ministerial level prizes.
