Wanyu Deng
Postdoctoral Researcher
I earned my PhD degree at Tianjin University under the guidance of Prof. Jinlong Gong, focusing on kinetic mechanisms of CO2/CO reduction. In 2020, I conducted 2-year research with Prof. Seger as an exchange student at the Technical University of Denmark. I am currently working with Prof. Jiao on electrochemical reduction of CO2/CO to acetate.
Junnan Li
Postdoctoral Researcher
I earned her Bachelor's degree in Applied Chemistry from Yanshan University. In 2016, I worked with Prof. Zhou at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences to pursue my Master's studies on photocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction. In 2019, I began my PhD study with Prof. Kornienko at the Université de Montréal, focusing on converting CO2 and biomass into useful organic products. I joined Prof. Jiao's lab in 2023 and is currently working on electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions.
Hefei Li
Postdoctoral Researcher
I received a B.S. degree in Applied Chemistry from Central China Normal University in 2017 and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in 2023. I joined the Jiao group in 2023 as a postdoctoral researcher. My research interests focus on the electroreduction of CO2/CO to multicarbon products.
Jia Yu
Postdoctoral Researcher
I received a PhD. degree in Chemical Engineering from the Tianjin University in 2023. I joined the Jiao group in 2023 to continue my Postdoc in Chemical Engineering with a research interest in electrocatalysis.
Zoushuang Li
Postdoctoral Researcher
I received a B.S. degree in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation from Central South University in 2018. In 2023, I earned my Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, focusing on the multi-physics coupling CFD modeling of ALD process. I joined the Jiao group in 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher and I am now working on the CFD modeling of electrolyzer reactors.
Nannan Meng
Postdoctoral Researcher
I earned my PhD at Tianjin University, studying the functional modification of catalysts for photocatalytic HER and CO2 electroreduction under Prof. Bin Zhang. Subsequently, I worked as a research assistant with Prof. Yifu Yu at the Institute of Molecular Plus. In late 2021, I joined Prof. Loh Kian Ping at the National University of Singapore, studying CO electrolysis and in-situ spectroscopy. In 2024, I started working with Prof. Jiao's group, focusing on scaling up CO2/CO electrolysis.
Miao Miao
Postdoctoral Researcher
I received a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Energy and Power Engineering from China University of Petroleum Beijing in 2018 and a Ph.D. in Tsinghua University in 2023. I joined the Jiao group in 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher. My research interests focus on the thermal chemical conversion of CO2.
Ahryeon Lee
Graduate Student
I received a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Yonsei University in 2018 and an M.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2020. I joined the Jiao group in 2022 to pursue my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with a research interest in electrocatalysis.
