Dr. Qiuping Wang | Environmental Engineering | Best Researcher Award

Tongji university | China

Qiuping Wang is a distinguished Ph.D. candidate at the College of Civil Engineering, Tongji University, under the guidance of Prof. Shuguang Liu, with a strong academic record. She earned her Master’s degree in Aquaculture from South China Agricultural University and her Bachelor’s degree in Aquaculture from Beibu Gulf University, establishing a solid foundation in environmental and aquatic sciences. Her research integrates civil engineering, environmental science, and computational approaches, focusing on water distribution networks, pipeline integrity, risk assessment under ground settlement, and the environmental impacts of nanoplastics. Her academic impact is reflected in 65 citations across 65 documents, 11 published documents, and an h-index of 3, underscoring the significance of her contributions to both engineering and environmental research. Qiuping has an extensive publication record with significant citations, contributing to high-impact research on automatic image analysis of water pipes, machine learning for pipeline predictive analysis, and risk assessment of coastal city water networks. She has also investigated the neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in aquatic organisms, including zebrafish, Hainan Medaka, and grass carp, addressing critical ecological and toxicological challenges. Her studies include microplastic distribution in freshwater sediments, pollutant interactions, and effects on gut microbiota and oxidative stress in aquatic species. Her research has been published in top-tier journals and presented at international conferences such as the International Ocean and Polar Engineering Conference. By combining experimental techniques, computational modeling, and interdisciplinary approaches, Qiuping develops innovative solutions in water infrastructure management, environmental protection, and aquatic toxicology. Fluent in Chinese and English, she continues to make impactful contributions to sustainable engineering, environmental science, and the understanding of microplastic pollution, bridging practical applications with fundamental research in aquatic ecosystems and civil infrastructure.
