Professor, Head of Energy and Power Engineering Institute, Vice Dean of International School of Energy, Jinan University. Expert of China’s Ministry of Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Engineering, China Electricity Council and China Energy Research Society. His areas of expertise have been energy conservation and emission reduction in thermos-dynamic system, efficient utilization of distributed energy, as well as development strategy in power sector. He has presided over many national projects, including China’s National Medium- and Long-Term Development Strategy of Engineering Science and Technology Research project on coal-fired power industry, and many fundamental research projects from China’s Ministry of Science and Technology and National Natural Science Foundation. He has overturned the traditional understanding of the thermal power industry that “the low load energy consumption per unit power generation is bound to rise significantly” for more than 100 years, and established a basic theory to fundamentally restrain the rise of low load energy consumption of thermal power units. By now, the application of his creative theory and technologies have reduce 1.6 million tons of standard coal consumption and 4.2 million tons of CO₂ emission annually, counted from selected projects. He has published more than 40 papers, one monograph, and obtained more than 30 patents for invention. He serves as an editor in two international journals. He has given tens of plenary/keynote speeches. He has been awarded the China’s Outstanding Young Energy Scientist & Technician, the second prize of the Outstanding Achievement Award (Science and Technology) for Scientific Research in Institutions of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education (1/15), First Prize in China’s Electricity Innovation (1/15), Second Prize in China’s Energy Innovation (1/15).
