About School of Environmental Science and Engineering, SJTU

Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) is one of the key universities with the longest history in China, enjoying great prestige at home and abroad. It is located in Shanghai, one of the most dynamic international metropolises with the most perfect governance system. The history of its environmental discipline can be traced back to municipal engineering in 1928, which fostered a number of outstanding alumni, including Gu Kangle, Ven Te Chow, Gu Xiasheng, Hu Jiajun and Xu Xiaobai. School of Environmental Science and Engineering was established in September 1999, and was awarded the first-level discipline doctoral program in 2003. Relying on the discipline foundation in engineering, management and medicine, it has achieved unique advantages in domestic environmental science through 20-plus years of rapid development and has acquired marvelous influence in the field of international environmental science and engineering. “Environmental Science” ranks among the top 100 in the 2020 QS ranking.

At present, the college has developed distinctive research directions, such as water pollution control and remediation in basins, atmospheric science and regional pollution control, solid waste treatment and recycling, soil and groundwater pollution remediation, environmental functional materials, resource and environmental management and climate change treatment, environment and sustainable energy, ecological toxicology and environmental health. Besides, it has undertaken many major projects and key research and development plans, such as “water special project”, “atmosphere special project”, “soil special project” and “solid waste special project”, as well as major and key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The research achievements have won more than ten provincial and ministerial scientific technological awards such as the first prize of scientific and technological progress in Yunnan Province and the first prize of technological invention in the Ministry of Education. More than 800 papers have been published in high-level journals such as Nature, Science, PNAS, JACS, ES&T. The college has therefore been approved to establish multiple provincial and ministerial platforms, including Shanghai Solid Waste Treatment and Recycling Research Center, Erhai Lake Ecosystem Education Field Scientific Observation and Research Station, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Environmental Big Data and Intelligent Decision-making and other.
