Prof. Yi Cheng received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from Tsinghua University in 1994 and 2000. He worked as a research fellow at Delft University of Technology (11/1998-11/2000), and then as a postdoc research associate at University of Western Ontario (02/2001-03/2003). In March 2003, he joined Tsinghua University as an associate professor, and was promoted to full professor in December 2007. His research interests lie in the field of multiphase reactor engineering in relation to the applications for energy, environment and materials, especially using unconventional means of process intensification (i.e., plasmas and confined micro-channel or micro-droplets) to solve reaction engineering problems. Prof. Xin Tu is Chair of Plasma Catalysis in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at the University of Liverpool, UK. He received PhD in Physics from CORIA CNRS UMR 6614 (University of Rouen), France and PhD in Thermal Engineering from Zhejiang University, China in 2007. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium (1/2008 to 8/2009) before joined the University of Manchester (UK) as a Postdoc Research Associate in the School of Chemistry (9/2009-2/2012). He was appointed as a Lecturer at the University of Liverpool in 2012 and was promoted to Professor in 2019. He has been working on interdisciplinary research at the interface of plasma science and chemical engineering directed towards environmental clean-up, fuel and chemical synthesis, and nuclear decommissioning.
