Short Biography

Professor Wenfeng Lin was born in Fujian province in Dec., 1965 and granted his B.S. degree and Ph.D. in Department of Chemistry, Xiamen University in 1985 and 1991, respectively. After working as a Humboldt Research Fellow and Max Planck fellow in Germany, as well as other post-doctoral researchers, he joined the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Queen's University Belfast in the UK as a reader and became a full-time tenured professor and PhD. Candidate supervisor of Department of Chemical Engineering at loughborough university.

Professor Wenfeng Lin is the Chair/Professor of Chemical Engineering and Departmental Director of Research at Loughborough University. He is a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry. He has particular expertise in electrochemistry, electrochemical materials for energy applications, electrochemical energy and environmental systems and engineering (fuel cells, batteries, super-capacitors, electrochemical ozone production and advanced oxidation technologies for water treatment and disinfection), electro-synthesis, nano-materials, nano-technologies, electro-catalysis, in-situ spectroscopy, surface science and engineering; and has been active in these areas for over 25 years with over 110 research journal publications (google scholar citations 2800, h-index 29, top 5 original electrochemistry research papers have 1150 citations).

He has been instrumental in attracting over £1.3M research funding from the UK EPSRC and over £1M from industrial and government sources, including 9 fuel cell related projects, and has established an interdisciplinary group focusing on cutting edge research on electrochemical materials and catalysis for clean energy and environmental technologies, including advanced direct fuel cells, Li and hybrid batteries, electrochemical sustainable hydrogen production from (sea) water, green electrocatalytic ozone generation from water for advanced oxidation and water/waste treatments.
