Dr. Wang joined ARBRI as our CAIP Research Chair in Computational Sustainability and Environmental Analytics in September, 2013. Prior to that Dr. Wang had served as Principal Research Scientist at Rothamsted Research in the UK. Dr. Wang is a leading expert in modelling and simulation of complex environmental and energy processes and systems, such as ecosystems, nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration, groundwater, pollutants, greenhouse gas emission and mitigation, fuel cells, microbial fuel cells, biogas, bioenergy and biomass.
Dr. Wang has made efforts to integrate agroecosystem, land use change and Geographic Information System (GIS) to assess environmental impacts of expanding biogas, bioenergy crops, land use change and climate change with emphasis on their interactions. Dr. Wang and his team are developing a modelling framework of integrated terrestrial and aquatic systems in the Athabasca River Basin by utilizing these innovative computational technologies and analytical modeling techniques and are expanding capacity of agroecosystem modeling and computational sustainability for agroecosystem and water resource management across Alberta and Canada.
