Professor Peijun Hu graduated from East China University of Science and Technology with a Bachelor’s degree in 1982 and a Master’s degree in 1985. Then he went to University of Cambridge, studying surface science and catalysis under the supervision of Sir David King, and received his Ph.D. in 1993. From 1993 to 1995, he did post-doctoral research under the supervision of Sir David King and Professor Mike Payne in Cambridge. In 1995, he joined Queen’s University, Belfast, as a lecturer and was subsequently promoted to be Reader in 2001 and to be Chair Professor in 2004. In 2009, he was elected to be a member of Royal Irish Academy. His main research area is heterogeneous catalysis and he has published more than 160 papers, including 2 papers in Nature, 2 in Nat. Commun. 16 in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 5 in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. and 4 in Phys. Rev. Lett.
Professor Zhipan Liu received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (1993–2000), and Ph.D. (2000–2003) at Queen’s University, Belfast. He did post-doctoral research (2003–2005) at University of Cambridge. He has been a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Fudan University, since 2005. He has been awarded a number of prestigious awards, including IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists (2004), National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars (2009), and Changjiang Scholar of Ministry of Eductation. His major research interests include: (i) Theoretical Surface Science; (ii) First-principles Reaction Dynamics; (iii) Heterogeneous and Biological Catalysis; (iv) Electronic Structure calculations. He has published more than 100 scientific papers since 2001, including 19 papers in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 5 papers in Phys. Rev. Lett. and 1 in Angew. Chem. The published papers have been cited over 3800 times.
