Biography
am from Dalian, China, where I gained my BEng. I obtained a PhD at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, working on Crossflow microfiltration of water in oil emulsions. From September 1999, I joined the University of Birmingham as a research fellow, where I extend my research area onto understanding hydrodynamics in different multiphase systems in stirred tanks using video techniques. The research was closely related to industry processes such as food formulation and heterogeneously catalytic reactions. Especially in reaction processes, the most recent developments include hydrodynamics in multiphase reactors, interfacial and transport phenomena and their role in chemical reactions.
Research Interest
Hydrodynamics and Hydrogenation in various catalytic three-phase (hydrogen/organic/catalyst) reactions
