Biography
Professor Xing-Gui Zhou earned his Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering in 1987 and his PhD in 1996 from East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST). In 1995, he was a visiting student at the University of Virginia and a visiting scholar at CPE Lyon in 2002. Since 1996, he has been a researcher at the State-Key Laboratory of Chemical Engineering (SKLoChE) at ECUST, where he joined the faculty of Chemical Engineering. He was promoted to full professor in 2002 and currently serves as the director of SKLoChE at ECUST.
Professor Zhou's research interests include reaction kinetics, transport in catalytic materials and microchannel reactors, solid catalyst design, and industrial crystallization. He is an active member of the Asian Pacific of Chemical Reaction Engineering (APCRE) working party and the Asian Crystallization Technology Symposium (ACTS) steering committee. He has also chaired the 8th Asian Pacific Forum of Chemical Engineering (APCRE 2017) and the 2021 International Conference on Mathematics in (bio)Chemical Kinetics and Engineering (MaCKiE 2021).
