XIE Qinxing谢勤兴

Prof. Dr. Qinxing Xie is a faculty member of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Tianjin Polytechnic University. He received his B.Sc. degree at Nanjing University in 1995, and M.Sc. degree at Nankai University in 1998. After that, he was hired as an engineer responsible for new products development by Tianjian Boyuan New Materials Co. Ltd that is a branch company of Tianjin Global Magnetic Card Co. Ltd. He received his PH.D. in 2004 at Swiss Federal Institute of Zurich (ETH Zurich) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. R. Nesper, and then he continued his work as a postdoctoral fellow. He was hired with a permanent teaching position by the Department of Chemistry, and was cross-appointed to the Department of Chemical Engineering from 2005 to 2009 at the University of Waterloo, Canada. He joined Tianjin polytechnic University as a full professor from 2010, and was nominated as the dean of the Department of Innovative Materials until 2017. Prof. Xie is now a guest editor of Shandong Chemical Industrial and Journal of Electronic Components and Information Technology.
