Brief Introduction of SEE
The School of Environment and Energy (SEE) was established in 2009. Its mission is to lead the vanguard in the graduate education in environmental protection and renewable energy to establish a model of low-carbon research and education, to train elite problem-solvers for environmental problems, to do research in atmospheric environmental pollution control, water quality, and ecology problems with the development of urbanization, to guide the renewable energy industry in environmentally-friendly technology research and development, and to promote sustainable development of human societies.
SEE offers both MS and Ph.D. degrees in two major fields: Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering with almost 180 master and doctoral students in 2020. It focuses on 3 distinctive research directions: Atmospheric Environmental Science, Watershed Ecology&Environmental Engineering and Bio-energy Engineering. SEE carries out interdisciplinary collaborative innovation with basic scientific research and industrial development goals and has received support from Peking University main campus and Shenzhen Graduate School. Welcome talents at home and abroad to join us actively.
SEE has selected environmental microbiome as one of the key development areas. In the future, SEE will be committed to the frontier research of the Environmental Microbiome and the development of environmental biotechnology. The key areas include big data analysis of environmental microbiome, the occurrence and transfer mechanism of resistance gene environmental pollution, the research of extreme environment microbiome, sewage treatment microbiome, and human-environment interface microbiome, which provide technical support for the research and development of basic science and environmental biotechnology in the environmental microbiome.
