Surface Science of Photocatalysis

Professor Jiaguo Yu received his BS and MS degrees in Chemistry from Central China Normal University and Xi’an Jiaotong University, respectively, and his PhD degree in materials science in 2000 from Wuhan University of Technology. In 2000, he became a Professor at Wuhan University of Technology. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong from 2001 to 2004, a visiting scientist from 2005 to 2006 at the University of Bristol, and a visiting scholar from 2007 to 2008 at University of Texas at Austin. He has won world renown due to his great accomplishments in scientific research by publishing over 600 high-impact SCI papers (149 highly cited ones) and five books, obtaining an H-index of 171. He is a Member of Academia Europaea (2020), a Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences (2020) and a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (2015). He is also one of the 30 Highly Cited Researchers from Clarivate Analytics in three disciplines, i.e. Materials Science, Chemistry and Engineering from 2014 to 2022 worldwide, and the Thomson Reuters "Hottest Researcher" of 2012 in the world. Mietek Jaroniec received his MS and PhD from M. Curie-Sklodowska University, Poland, in 1972 and 1976, respectively. Since 1991 he has been a Professor of Chemistry at Kent State University, Kent, Ohio (USA). Before joining Kent State he was a Professor of Chemistry at M. Curie-Sklodowska University, Poland. His research interests revolve primarily around inter-disciplinary topics of interfacial chemistry, and chemistry of materials, including physical adsorption at the gas/solid and liquid/solid interfaces, adsorbents, and catalysts. At Kent State he has established a vigorous research program in the area of ordered nanoporous materials such as ordered mesoporous silicas, organosilicas, inorganic oxides and carbons, focusing on their synthesis and environmental and energy-related applications. Chuanjia Jiang received his BS and MS in environmental engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, in 2009 and 2011, respectively; his PhD in civil and environmental engineering from Duke University, Durham, NC, in 2016. From June 2016 to December 2017, he worked in the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Materials Synthesis and Processing at Wuhan University of Technology as an assistant professor and later as an associate professor, before joining Nankai University in January 2018. His current research interests include photocatalysis and thermal catalysis for air and water pollution control, environmental aquatic chemistry, as well as the environmental applications and implications of nanotechnology.
