Short Biography of Bingjun\r
Bingjun attended Fudan University (Shanghai, China) for college during 2000-2004, during which he developed strong interest in heterogeneous catalysis research. He stayed at Fudan to pursue a Master’s degree in Physical Chemistry in Prof. Gao’s lab, working on synthesis and applications of solid acid catalysts.\r
Bingjun then joined Prof. Cynthia Friend’s lab in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University (Cambridge, MA, US) for graduate study. His Ph.D. thesis focused on mechanistic studies of oxidative-coupling reactions mediated by gold surface under ultrahigh vacuum conditions.\r
Upon finishing his Ph.D, Bingjun drove across the US from Cambridge to the sunny southern California (only to find his office for the following two years in the basement), to join Prof. Mark Davis’ lab at Caltech for postdoctoral research. He worked on developing a low temperature thermochemical cycle for water splitting.\r
From 2013 to 2020, Bingjun started as an assistant professor and then was promoted to an associate professor (with tenure) at the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, University of Delaware (US). He officially joined PKU fall 2020.
