Xin Huang

Biography:

Xin Huang received his PhD in 2019 from Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences, Kyushu University, Japan. He received his bachelor and master degree from China University of Mining & Technology in 2013 and 2016, respectively. He is currently a lecture in School of Energy and Power Engineering at Chongqing University. He is also a research fellow in Key Laboratory of Low-grade Energy Utilization Technologies and Systems of Ministry of Education. Currently, he focuses on the thermochemical conversion technology, such as pyrolysis, hydrolysis, etc., of biomass to platform chemicals. He is also interested in the heterogeneous catalysis in biomass-derived compounds.
