Dr. Jianqiang Yu earned his PhD degree from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2000. Following this, he pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Tokyo from October 2001 to February 2003. Subsequently, he served as a postdoctoral research assistant at the Central Research Institute of ExxonMobil (Japan) for one year. From April 2004 to July 2006, he held the position of senior researcher at the Japan Agency for Science and Technology (JST) at Tokyo University of Sciences. Dr. Yu then assumed the role of distinguished professor at Qingdao University, China. In December 2011 to February 2012, he engaged in a visiting professorship at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Since 2008, he has served as a Senior Visiting Professor at the Institute of Oceanography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, establishing a globally recognized photoelectrochemical anticorrosion R&D team. In 2012, he took on the role of project leader at the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he established the Laboratory of Clean Energy Materials and Chemistry. In May 2022, Dr. Yu became a permanent resident of the United States through the American Alien of Extraordinary Ability (EB-1A) program. Throughout his career, Dr. Yu has been dedicated to addressing scientific and technical challenges in energy conversion, environmental protection, and fine chemical synthesis. His contributions include innovative advancements in material chemical preparation processes, the development of new catalytic materials, and research in heterogeneous catalytic engineering. Notably, he has made significant breakthroughs in the application of photocatalytic materials, particularly in solar energy conversion and green catalytic processes, and has conducted pioneering work in photoelectrochemical marine anti-corrosion and anti-fouling.
