Prof. Dr. Arshad Ali

Professor/ Group Leader

I am a top-notch (talent) Full Professor / PhD supervisor in the College of Life Sciences at Hebei University, where I am leading Forest Ecology Research Group (FERG). Prior to joining Hebei University I was a Full Professor / PhD supervisor at Nanjing Forestry University in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and before that I completed my Postdoc at South China Normal University, Guangzhou. I completed my PhD and MS at East China Normal University, Shanghai, during Sep 2012 - Dec 2017. I am also serving several SCI journals as an Academic Editor since 2018. This includes top and respectful journals in the field of forest or plant ecology such as Forest Ecology and Management (Elsevier), Forestry (Oxford University Press, UK), Journal of Forestry Research (Springer, China), Biodiversity and Conservation (Springer), and Frontiers journals (Plant Science; Forests and Global Change). Prior to coming China, I completed my BS (Hons) in Forestry from Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University, Pakistan. After BS graduation, I worked as a Social Organizer and Project Manager at two different internationally supported NGOs in Pakistan for almost 2 years. I also served WWF Pakistan (Wetlands project) as an internee for a short time as a volunteer.
