About me: Grew up in Hunan province in China, I was attracted to renewable energy ever since I was a kid. After undergraduate studies, I left for England to start my journey as a researcher. I obtained D.Phil degree with Prof. Richard G. Compton at Oxford University. My research focused on electrode kinetics. This was the time I developed my deep interest in electrochemistry. My research in CO2 conversion started with Prof. Thomas J. Meyer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During my stay at UNC, I had wide exposure to both molecular catalysts and heterogeneous catalysts for (photo)electrocatalysis of CO2. It was also when I learned the Proton Coupled Electron Transfer (PCET) theory and started to explore the mystery of electrode interface at a molecular level. Before joining CUHK, I was a postdoc research fellow with Prof. Edward H. Sargent at the University of Toronto. It was this experience that showed me how we could transfer technologies from the lab to the real world. Outside the lab, one of my dreams is to complete a full marathon, although it is thermodynamically and kinetically challenging.
