Professor YU Lixin received his B.Sc, M.Sc and Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Department of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University in 1989, 1991 and 1995, respectively. He has been working in the department since 1995,becoming a professor of chemical engineering in 2003. He engaged in research of membrane separation as a visiting scientist at Exxon Research and Engineering Company in the United States during Jan. 1997 to Jan 1998. He teaches Principles of Chemical Engineering (Beijing City Excellent Course) and Chemical Engineering Design for undergraduate students. He has written and translated several textbooks. He has got Beijing City Higher Education Award (2004, 2013, Second Class) and National Education Award (2009, First Class). He had been member of Chemical Engineering Teaching Advisory Board of Ministry of Education of China(2007-2018). His research interests focus on fundamentals and application of separation, mainly bipolar membrane electrodialysis and coupling of pervaporation and reaction. He has published more than 100 papers and got Beijing City Award for Science and Technology Progress (1998, First Class). He is now a deputy editor-in-chief of Higher Education in Chemical Engineering.
