Jian Zheng is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Sichuan University. He has special research interests in heterogeneous catalysis. He has over 10 years experiences in this field and published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers. His current research investigates the design, structural characterization, and catalytic evaluation of isolated and clustered metal/metal oxides installed onto porous support materials (zeolites, oxides, and metal-organic frameworks) for energy and environment related chemical transformation, such as selective alkane conversion, selective hydrogenation of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides abatement, and oligomerization of light olefins, using an integrated experimental and modeling approach. He has additional expertise in development and implementation of in situ spectroscopic techniques (mainly XAFS and IR) to characterize heterogeneous catalytic processes and well-defined solid-state catalysts. He has also paid emphasis on porous materials like zeolites, MOFs, and mesoporous carbons for gas sorption and separation applications.
