Introduction

Professor Wang is working at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology since 2022. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Sydney, Australia, in 2015. From 2015 to 2018, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Sydney in Australia and Case Western Reserve University in the United States. From 2019 to 2022, he joint Macquarie University in Australia as an Australia Research Council Discovery Early Career Research Award fellow. His research focuses on the rational design of heterogeneous catalysts for green and sustainable energy and chemical production, in situ spectroscopic studies on catalyst structure and reaction mechanism, particularly in the conversion of biomass and CO2 into value-added chemicals. So far, he has published more than 70 papers, including over 40 papers as first or corresponding author in journals such as Acc. Chem. Res., Nature Communications, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed, ACS. Catal., Mater. Today, Appl. Catal. B, Green Chem., J. Catal. He has recieved several awards, including Discovery Early Career Researcher Award from Australia Research Council, Chinese National Excellent Self-Funded Scholarships etc.
