Chen Mengfang

Chen Mengfang is a Professor and doctoral supervisor at the Key Laboratory of Soil Environment and Pollution Remediation, Nanjing Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, holding this position since 2010. His expertise spans industrial site pollution remediation and groundwater resource management with global applications.

Education:

• B.S. in Coal Sedimentology, China University of Geosciences, 1985
• Ph.D. in Sedimentary Geochemistry, Newcastle University, UK, 1990

Chen's research centers on soil-groundwater pollutant migration dynamics and in-situ biochemical remediation technologies, coupled with advanced quantitative risk assessment methodologies. He specializes in numerical simulation of groundwater flow, geochemical evolution modeling, and human/ecological risk quantification for contaminated sites including brownfields, abandoned mines, and landfills. His work integrates field investigations with computational approaches to develop site-specific remediation frameworks.

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on risk assessment model development (CLEA integration, RBCA software) and high-impact case studies including London 2012 Olympic Park remediation, Shanghai chemical works assessment, and UK pesticide facility cleanup. His research bridges theoretical modeling with industrial implementation through 150+ technical reports.

No scientific awards are documented in the source material.

As a doctoral supervisor, Chen leads CAS Knowledge Innovation Projects on POPs-contaminated sites while partnering with GSI Environmental Group for RBCA software development. He conducts industry-wide technical training on quantitative risk assessment and has secured project funding through international collaborations including UK-based site remediation contracts.

Based at the Key Laboratory of Soil Environment and Pollution Remediation, Chen operates within a multidisciplinary team conducting field investigations and numerical modeling. His international network spans UK environmental agencies, Chinese industrial sites, and US consulting firms, with recent work focusing on POPs-contaminated site remediation technologies.
