Dr. Yi Wang received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Texas at El Paso in 2020 and obtained her B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2012. She has been an Assistant Agricultural Scientist II, Department of Analytical Chemistry, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, from 2022 to present. She became an Agricultural Post-doctoral Scientist, Department of Analytical Chemistry, CAES, in 2020-2022. She has been involved in agricultural and environmental nanoscience research including the fate and toxicity of contaminants in food and agricultural plants and the application of nanotechnology in plants to improve crops' nutritional qualities and suppress plant diseases. She has expertise in detecting the presence, form, and dynamics of contaminants in food and plants and investigating nanomaterials and plant interactions using spectroscopy and microscopy techniques, such as ICP-OES, UV-VIS, SEM/TEM, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS, and RT-qPCR; examining plant responses on the molecular level through genetic, proteomic and metabolic analysis; nanomaterial synthesis and surface modification. She is a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS), ACS AGRO, Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization (SNO) and Soil Science Society of America (SSSA).
