Biography

Mingzhan received his B.Eng. degree from the College of Chemistry of Jilin University in 2013, and Ph.D. from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Peking University in 2018. Afterwards, he continued his research in the School of Molecular Engineering of the University of Chicago first as a postdoctoral scholar and then as a staff scientist before joining CityU. His research interest and expertise focus on building a sustainable water-energy-materials nexus. 

Research Expertise

Controlled synthesis of 2D materials, angstrom-scale nanofluidics, ion transport, membrane science and separation, energy conversion and storage.
