Bio:

Miao Zhong received his bachelor and master degrees from Applied Physics Department, Shanghai JiaoTong University, China, and his PhD degree from School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo, Japan. Later, he worked as a JSPS postdoc fellow at The University of Tokyo (with Prof. Jean-Jacques Delaunay), a project researcher for the Artificial Photosynthetic Project of NEDO at The University of Tokyo (with Prof. Kazunari Domen), and a postdoc fellow at University of Toronto (with Prof. Edward H. Sargent). He has published more than 30 peer-reviewed journal papers including publications in the leading journals of Nature, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. In. Ed., Energy Environ. Sci., Nat. Mater., Nat. Catal., 2 book chapters and 2 international patents in the fields of materials, energy and catalysis. More details can be seen on our website at Nanjing University.
