Professor Guangsheng LUO received his BSc. Degree in applied chemistry in 1988 and his Ph.D. in chemical engineering in 1993 at Tsinghua University. He worked at Caen University, France, as a Postdoctoral Research fellow from 1995 to 1996 and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, as a visiting scientist from 2001 to 2002. His research interests include micro-structured chemical systems, separation science and technology, mass transfer phenomena, and controllable preparation of functional Materials. He has published more than 300 peer reviewed papers and obtained more than 70 invention patents in China. He obtained the “National Outstanding Young Scientist Award” from the National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2005 and he was appointed as a Chungkung Professor by the Ministry of Education of China in 2009. He is now the director of the State Key Lab of Chemical Engineering.

Research Interests:

Micro-structured Chemical Systems
To realize high efficiency, environmental friend and safety for chemical processes, miniaturization of chemical reactors and separators with micro-structure chemical systems is becoming a high promising way. The study of multiphase microflows, micromixing, micro-scale mass transfer, chemical reaction in microreactors, as well as CFD simulation is being carried on.

Separation Science and Technology
Several technologies such as extraction, absorption, adsorption, membrane separation and ion exchange are mainly considered. Some new methods, such as unit integration, miniaturization of chemical equipment, as well as the introduction of external forces, are studied for the development of new separation techniques, new separators and new separation materials.

Controllable Preparation of Functional Materials
The subject is focusing on the large-scale production of energy, functional and catalytic materials by controlling reaction environment with micro-structured reactors or specially designed liquid/liquid reaction systems. Liquid/liquid and gas/liquid systems are two major working systems. The impact factors on the preparation processes will be investigated. To develop new preparation processes and equipment with controllability and low energy cost is one objective of our research.
