Biography
Jinghong Zhou was born in 1971 in Zhejiang, China. She completed her Bachelor, Master and PhD of Chemical Engineering from East China University of Science and Technology in 1993, 1996 and 2007. She joined East China University of Science and Technology in 1996 as a faculty member as a lecturer, then an associate professor and now a professor. She had stayed in the Department of Chemical Engineering at University of California, Santa Barbara as a visiting scholar for a year. Her current focus is on intensification of chemical reaction processes in multi-scale, by integrating reaction engineering principles with catalytic chemistry and computational chemistry, aiming to developing highly efficient catalysts as well as energy-efficient and environmentally friendly novel processes in the fields of energy conversion and utilization.
