Abstract

Yahong Zhou is an assistant Professor at TIPC. She received her bachelor's degree from Jilin University in 2009 and PhD from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Lei Jiang. Her research interest mainly focuses on the nanoporous membrane and integrated as-prepared nanoporous membrane into energy devices. Lei Jiang is a professor at the TIPC and Beihang University. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academy of Sciences for the Developing World, and National Academy of Engineering, USA. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Jilin University and PhD from the University of Tokyo. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Akira Fujishima and then as a senior researcher in the Kanagawa Academy of Sciences and Technology with Prof. Kazuhito Hashimoto. His scientific interests focus on bio-inspired, smart, multi-scale interfacial materials with superwettability.
