Introduction

I received my PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University in 2015 and continued my research as a postdoc at Tianjin University until I joined Tiangong University at 2018. My current research mainly focuses on the application-oriented design and preparation of ultra-thin membranes for gas separation. The main projects I have led include National Natural Science Foundation of China Excellent Youth Program (2021, RMB 2 million), National Key R&D Project Topic and Tianjin Innovation Platform Special Project (2019, RMB 2 million). My main publications include Nature Materials, Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Science Bulletin, Journal of Membrane Science, Journal of Materials Chemistry A and AIChE Journal.
