Fangming Jin Dr. Fangming Jin is a Distinguished Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. She received her Ph.D. from Tohoku University in Japan. After that she became an assistant professor and then an associate professor at Tohoku University in Japan. In 2007, she returned to China and became a Professor at Tongji University and also a Chair Professor sponsored by the Chang Jiang Scholar Program (administered by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China). In 2010 she moved to Tohoku University (Japan) as a professor, and then in 2011, she moved back to Shanghai Jiao Tong University and got an honor of “Recruitment Program of Global Experts” Talents in Shanghai. Her research centers on the conversion of CO2 and biomass into fuels and chemicals, in order to explore a potentially useful technology for improvement in the carbon cycle by mimicking nature. She has authored more than 200 scientific publications, including peer-reviewed papers, patents, books, and book chapters. Prof. Jin is also a Visiting Professor at Tohoku University, a Fellow of the Graduate School of Environmental Studies at Tohoku University, and a Visiting scientist at RIKEN, Japan.
Liang-Nian He Prof. Liang-Nian He received his Ph.D. from Nankai University in 1996 under the guidance of academician Ru-Yu Chen. He then worked as a Chinese postdoctoral fellow with academician Ren-Xi Zhuo at Wuhan University. He worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology (Japan) from 1999 to 2003 before joining Nankai University in April of 2003. In 2009, He was selected as a “Chutian Scholar” Professor. Now Professor He is a Professor of Chemistry at Nankai University, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC, from 2011), he became one of the Most Cited Chinese Researchers (Elsevier) in 2014, “the top 1% of highly cited authors in RSC journals in 2014,” and got a “Nature Science” award by the Tianjin government in 2015. Prof. He has over 150 scientific publications and eight patents. He also has edited 12 books and chapters and delivered more than 50 invited lectures at international/national conferences, universities, and research organizations. Now He also serves as a Series Editor of “Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology” (Springer) and on the Advisory Board of the new book Series published by CRC Press “Green Syntheses.” He is also a member of the Editorial Boards for “Journal of CO2 Utilization,” “Sustainable Chemical © 2015 American Chemical Society In Advances in CO2 Capture, Sequestration, and Conversion; Jin, Fangming, et al.; ACS Symposium Series; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 2015.

Processes,” “Current Organic Synthesis,” “Current Chemical Research,” “The Open Organic Chemistry Journal,” “The Open Catalysis Journal,” “Reports in Organic Chemistry,” and “Current Catalysis” as well as an associate Editor of “Sustainable Development” (in Chinese) and a member of the Ionic Liquids Professional Committee and Chinese Fine Chemical Committee. In addition, he serves as a referee for leading journals in the fields of chemistry, green chemistry, catalysis, and environmental science. Prof. He’s current research interests cover green synthetic chemistry, CO2 chemistry (CO2 activation and its chemical transformation into fuels/value-added chemicals), catalysis in green solvents and biomass conversion (castor-related energy), and green technology related to desulfurization.
Yun Hang Hu Dr. Yun Hang Hu is the chair of the Energy and Fuels Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the president of the Hydrogen Storage Division of the International Association of Hydrogen Energy (IAHE), a fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), a fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), and the inaugural Charles and Carroll McArthur Chair Professor at Michigan Technological University. He received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Xiamen University. His main research interests include nanomaterials, clean fuels, hydrogen storage materials, CO2 conversion, catalysis, quantum chemistry calculations, and solar energy. He has published more than 120 papers in prestigious journals with more than 4000 citations. He was an organizer and chair for more than 30 international symposia, an editor for three ACS books, and an editorial board member for nine international journals.
