During the doctoral period, he was mainly engaged in the preparation of smart response switchable emulsions and the quantitative measurement of interaction mechanisms, and the applied basic research on the continuous preparation of fine chemicals by micro-reaction technology. In December 2021, he entered the Extraction and Separation Laboratory of the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsing...

Dr. Chencan Du obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2020 from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He is now working as a postdoctoral researcher in the research group of Prof. Guangsheng Luo at Tsinghua University (China). His research interests include the application of microchemical system for acid-catalyzed Beckmann rearrangement reactions and scaling-up con...

Doctoral thesis with Prof. Yoshihiro Kubota focused on the synthesis and modifications of YNU-5 zeolite to enhance its performance as a cracking catalyst. I joined the Liu lab as a postdoctoral researcher in November 2021. Current research focuses on developing zeolite-based catalyst for upcycling polyolefin plastic waste into high-value-added chemicals under mild conditions

Wei focused on the design and optimization of rotating packed bed (RPB) reactor during his doctoral study. He proposed the mesh-pin rotor for the anti-blockage challenge of RPB reactor. He studied the scale-up, hydrodynamics, and mass transfer performance of the RPB reactor with mesh-pin rotor. Mass transfer model was established to predict the reactor performance based on the his study. Wei jo...
