Jing Hu is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering at the University of Central Florida. She received her doctoral degree at the University of Florida, majoring in soil and water sciences with a minor in statistics, and master’s and bachelor’s degrees from China Agricultural University within the College of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering, specializing in Agricultural Bio-environmental and Energy Engineering. Hu’s research interests and expertise are in biogeochemistry in managed soil and water systems, with an emphasis on greenhouse gas emission mitigation, and nature-based solutions and ecological engineering for water quality improvement. Her research work has been published in Nature Climate Change, Ecological Engineering, Science of the Total Environment, the Journal of Geophysical Research, and the Journal of Hazardous Materials. Hu is an associate editor for Soil and Water Management of Agronomy Journal and a founding young editorial board member for the Soil and Environmental Health Journal.
