Dr. Wang Yuzhou is an Assistant Professor in the Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University. He completed his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Washington in 2023 and holds dual bachelor's degrees from Tsinghua University in Environmental Engineering and Business Administration. His educational background includes: Ph.D., Environmental Engineering, University of Washington (2023) B.E., Environmental Engineering, Tsinghua University (2017) B.A., Business Administration, Tsinghua University (2017) Dr. Wang's research focuses on air pollution, air quality modeling, and environmental justice. His work examines racial-ethnic disparities in air pollution exposure, particularly for PM2.5, and develops data-driven models to address environmental, climate, and health impacts from emission activities. He has made significant contributions to understanding how different emission-reduction approaches affect national racial-ethnic exposure disparities, with findings published in top journals like Science and PNAS. His research also extends to environmental inequality in China and spatial decomposition of air pollution across the United States. Dr. Wang's publications reveal that location-specific emission reduction strategies can eliminate national racial-ethnic disparities with only modest emission reductions (approximately 1% of total emissions), whereas current regulatory approaches are substantially less effective. His work demonstrates that environmental racism legacies require fundamentally different regulatory frameworks that center overburdened communities. His research has important implications for environmental policy, particularly for the Biden administration's Justice40 Initiative. Dr. Wang has shown that the current method for identifying disadvantaged communities (CEJST) will only eliminate disparities by income but not racial-ethnic disparities, highlighting the need for race-conscious approaches to environmental justice. Dr. Wang can be reached at yuzhouw@tamu.edu for research collaborations and academic inquiries.
