His creative research works solved many engineering problems and produced significant economic and social benefits. As a results, he awarded 3 National, 3 International and 16 Provincial or Ministerial Awards of Science and Technical Progresses and 14 patents. He published more than 300 papers. He participated in collaborative research at the Schools of Chem. Eng., University of Bradford, UK during Sept. 1981 to Sept. 1983. He participated in collaborative research for 3 months at the University of Melbourne, Australia in 1993 and at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany in 1997. He was the vice director of Chinese Ecological Economics Society, the vice director of state key lab of chemical Engineering, the fellow of the Chemical Industry & Engineering Society of China (CIESC), the fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry UK, and he is the Editor-in–Chief of Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering (CJChE) and Associate Editor-in–Chief of Chemical Engineering Journal (China) now.
Professor CHEN Bingzhen is a specialist in chemical engineering, especially in process system engineering. She received her B.Sc. degree and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Moscow University of Chemical Technology after Mendeleev, the former Union States of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) in 1959 and 1962, respectively. In a subsequent period of about 50 years she has devoted herself to teaching and research in chemical engineering, particularly in process systems engineering, in successive positions as Lecturer, Associate Professor and Professor (1984) in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University. She was elected as a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2005. She is one of the founding members of the process systems engineering division in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University. Her major research interests include optimal synthesis of total site energy system, development and application of a new parallel hybrid Multi-objective optimization method for the complex industrial chemical processes, bio-fuel supply chain modeling and optimization, chemical process inherent safety, application of wavelet transform theory and artificial intelligence approach and numerical methods to dynamic process modeling, fault diagnosis, data reconciliation and real time optimization. A strategy of developing on-line optimization systems based on combining fow-sheeting simulation and optimization package with artifcial neural networks (ANNs) was presented. The process optimization package has been integrated with the developed steady-state data reconciliation approach and implemented for the real time optimization in the industrial crude distillation plants successfully. For her contributions to the feld of process systems engineering, she awarded 1 National and 13 Provincial or Ministerial Awards of Science and Technical Progresses. She is the (co-)author of more than 250 publications since 1985. She was a member of the editorial advisory board of the international journal “Computers & Chemical Engineering” from 1987 to 2015 and an Associate editor-in-chief of the Journal of “Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering” (international) from 2004 to 2015. She has chaired the 8th International Symposium on Process Systems Engineering, held in Kunming city.
Professor LUO Guangsheng received his BSc. Degree in applied chemistry and his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Tsinghua University in 1988 and in 1993 respectively.
