Biography
Xiong Wen (David) Lou was born in Zhejiang, China, in 1978. He received his B.Eng. (2002) and M.Eng. (2006) in chemical engineering from the National University of Singapore. He received his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Cornell University (with Professor Lynden A. Archer) in May 2008. He is currently a Full Professor in School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). As a leading author, he has published over 265 journal papers in peer-reviewed good journals, such as Science Advances, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Nature Energy, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Energy & Environmental Science, and so on. His papers are highly cited with a total ISI citation of over 39,500 by September 2017 and an H-index of 118. He received several awards, including the Esso Gold Medal, the Austin Hooey Prize, and the Liu Memorial Awards. He is one winner of TR35@Singapore 2012 by MIT Technology Review. He also received the Young Scientist Award 2012 by Singapore National Academy of Sciences. He was listed as a Highly Cited Researcher in 2014, 2015 & 2016 by Thomson Reuters. Currently, he is an Associate Editor for Science Advances.
