Dr. QIAN Weizhong got his B.Sc. degree in fine chemistry from the Beijing Institute of Technology in 1992. And then, he received his M.Sc and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology in 1999 and at Dept. of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University in 2002, respectively. He has worked in the department since 2002, becoming a Professor of Chemical Engineering in Dec. 2015. His research interests cover Nano materials, advanced catalysis and chemical engineering. He is currently a member of Chinese Particuology Society and a member of capacitor committee of China Electrotechnical Society. He published around 150 SCI-indexed papers and was granted 70 patents of China. His H factor is 56. He got National top 100 Ph.D. theses Award in China in 2005, and was awarded as excellent young scientist of Minister of China(2007), Chinese particuology Society(2008) and as Houdebang Innovation prize of China petroleum and Chemical industry association. He was awarded by National Scientific and Technology Progress Award of China (second grade,2008) and other 6 first grade awards by minister or province government of China, owing to the contribution in fundamental study in carbon nanomaterials and the industrial application of fluidized bed technology.
