Professor WANG Jinfu graduated from Tianjin Institute of Light Industry with B. Sc. degree in chemical engineering and technology in 1982. He received Ph.D. (Chemistry) from the University of Paderborn, Germany, in 1994. He has worked in the department since 1995, and was promoted as a professor in 2000. Prior to that he worked at the department of chemical engineering & chemistry, the University of Paderborn as a Postdoctoral research fellow from 1994 to 1995. He teaches <Chemical Reaction Engineering> to the undergraduate and <Applied Mathematical Analysis in Chemical Engineering> to the graduate students. His research specializes in the field of chemical reaction engineering and focuses on developing novel reactors and processes for the energy-, chemical, biochemical and environmental industries. The research approach is based on the fundamental study on the hydrodynamics and characteristics of mass and heat transfer in the concerned reactors. Another important research approach is modeling and development of chemical reactors and processes. Especially the multiphase system is considered for prior research interests.
