Dr. Chaofeng Zhang received his Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Professor Feng Wang in 2017. Then he joined in the DICP as an assistant professor. His research interests include catalytic transformation of biomass resource to valuable chemicals and fuels; synthesis of nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts; organic synthesis with photoelectrocatalytic methods.

Professor Feng Wang received his Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2005, and he joined DICP and was promoted to full professor in 2011. He did postdoctoral research on heterogeneous catalysis at University of California at Berkeley and Catalysis Research Center of Hokkaido University. Currently, he is the director of the Biomass and Bio-energy Division of the Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy (DNL). His research interests include: Heterogeneous C-O band transformation catalysis; synthesis of nanostructured metal and metal oxide catalyst; in situ characterization technique for liquid phase reaction; catalytic biomass conversion to valuable chemicals.
