Academic Areas: Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

A chemist and chemical engineer at HUST, Wuhan, China，Prof. Li studied catalysis chemistry in 1975 in Xiamen University, Xiamen, China, where he had been working on the synthesis of ammonia (with Prof. H. L.Wan). He then studied catalysis chemistry as a visiting research fellow in 1988 in the University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia (with Prof. F. P. Larkins), where he carried out the research on F-T synthesis over Fe-Co catalyst. After several years working as a research associate at the Hubei Research Institute of Chemistry, Wuhan, P. R-China, he moved to Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, P. R. China in 1993. Since January 2000, he is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry, HUST, and Director of Physical Chemistry and Industrial Catalysis, HUST. His research interests included homogeneous, heterogeneous catalysis and catalytic engineering, especially in the fields of carbonylation, hydrogenation and oxidation.
