Professor Junwang Tang, our group leader, was elected as the Member of Academia Europaea (The Academy of Europe) under the Chemical Sciences Section for his distinguished achievements in the discipline in 2021. Professor Tang will be inducted into the Academy along with 268 new members at the next Introduction Ceremony to be held in 2022.

Tireless devotion to Materials Chemistry and Engineering

Professor Tang obtained both his MSc and PhD from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. He is the Professor of Materials Chemistry and Engineering at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº, visiting professor at University of Science and Technology of China and Northwest University (China). His research is strategically targeted at the development of innovative chemical approaches to solar energy conversion and storage and sustainable chemical processes, which includes CH4 activation, N2 conversion to ammonia, water splitting to H2 fuel and CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons. In parallel, he is interested in process intensification for materials manufacturing (including nanomaterials) in order to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emission during chemical production. He has contributed 300 journal publications with more than 16800 citations. His contribution to Material Chemistry has been recognised internationally throughout the years. He was awarded Corday-Morgan Prize from the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2021, Global Business Start-Up Award from IChemE in 2019. His CV can be viewed at: .

About Academia Europaea

The Academia Europaea was founded in 1988 as an international, non-governmental association of individual scientists and scholars from all disciplines, who are experts and leaders of international distinction in their own subject areas as recognised by their peers, irrespective of nationality, gender, location or discipline. The primary criterion for membership is "sustained academic excellence in the candidate's field". Membership of Academia Europaea is by invitation after peer group nomination, rigorous review and assessment based on the scholarship and eminence of the individual in his/her chosen field, and recommendation to the Council of the Academia for formal election.
