加州大学河滨分校Fudong Liu课题组招收Chemical and Environmental Engineering催化方向博士生

加州大学河滨分校(University of California, Riverside) Dr. Fudong Liu课题组招收2025年秋季入学Chemical and Environmental Engineering PhD学生2-3名，研究方向为非均相催化、环境催化、环境污染控制、单原子催化、团簇催化、温室气体消除和资源化利用、清洁能源转化等。课题组具有很强的环境催化及工业催化研究和应用背景，实验平台优越，设备先进齐全，具有丰富的高端材料表征和理论计算合作资源（如同步辐射技术（X射线吸收谱）、球差电镜、DFT计算 + KMC模拟等）。

请有志于深入研究非均相催化方向的同学（包括化学工程、环境工程、材料科学与工程及相关专业即将或已经取得硕士学位的同学；具有本科学位成绩突出的同学也鼓励申请）Email联系Dr. Fudong Liu ( [email protected] ; https://profiles.ucr.edu/fudong.liu ; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=5gRxLTwAAAAJ&hl=en )，随信请发送个人简历、本科/硕士阶段成绩单、托福或雅思成绩(基本要求[ GPA : 3.2 on a 4-point scale; TOEFL : 550 (paper based), 213 (computer based), 80 (internet based) 或 IETLS: Overall score of 7 , with no individual section score less than 6], 详情请见链接 https://www.cee.ucr.edu/academics/graduate-faq )、GRE成绩(如有，不作要求)。请有志向从事非均相催化、环境催化研究的同学在 2025年1月5日 前完成网络申请( https://grad.ucr.edu/apply/?_gl=1*qc6fn5*_ga*ODc5MzMwMTIwLjE3MjM0OTEwMjU.*_ga_S8BZQKWST2*MTcyMzU3MjU4Ni42MjIuMS4xNzIzNTczMzg0LjAuMC4w*_ga_Z1RGSBHBF7*MTcyMzU3MjU4Ni4yLjEuMTcyMzU3MzM4NC4wLjAuMA )。

Introduction to Dr. Fudong Liu: Dr. Liu has been working in heterogeneous catalysis, environmental catalysis, pollution control, greenhouse gas reduction/utilization, hydrogen production, and synchrotron-based technique (X-ray absorption spectroscopy) for material characterization for 20 years, in both academia (Tsinghua University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of California, Berkeley/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of Central Florida, University of California, Riverside as a tenured associate professor) and industry (BASF Corporation). He has published 150+ peer reviewed papers (including Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nature Communications, ACS Catalysis, Environmental Science & Technology, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental etc.) with 11,000+ citations and H-index of 59 (Google Scholar), applied 40+ patents, and published 4 book chapters in heterogenous catalysis field. Dr. Liu received the 2009 CAS P&G Scholarship, 2010 CAS President Scholarship, 2011 CAS Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award, 2012 International Association of Catalysis Societies (IACS) Young Scientist Award, 2013 Lu Jiaxi Young Talent Award, 2014 National Science &Technology Progress Award, 2019 National Natural Science Award, China, 2020 TechConnect Defense Innovation Award, 2023 Research Incentive Award at University of Central Florida, 2024 RINENG (Results in Engineering, Elsevier) Distinguished Scientist Award, and 2024 CAPEES-Carina Frontier Research Award, etc.

PhD Positions in Chemical and Environmental Engineering at University of California, Riverside (2-3 Openings, Heterogeneous Catalysis)

Heterogeneous Catalysis for Environmental Applications and Sustainable Chemical Transformations

We have 2-3 PhD positions (Fall 2025) open now at the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering (CEE), University of California, Riverside. The PhD students will be supervised by Dr. Fudong Liu ( https://profiles.ucr.edu/fudong.liu ; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=5gRxLTwAAAAJ&hl=en ).

The research directions include but not limit to heterogeneous catalysis, thermal catalysis, nanomaterial synthesis, single atom catalysis, cluster catalysis, environmental pollution control including HC/CO oxidation, NO/NH3 oxidation, NH3 decomposition, NOx reduction and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal, NH3 related reactions, greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs etc.) reduction/utilization, clean energy source conversion etc.

The research team has strong catalysis research and application background, with advanced instrumentation for catalyst synthesis, aging, testing, characterization, and reaction mechanism study, as well as rich collaborative resources including synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), HAADF-STEM and DFT calculation + KMC simulation etc.

Candidates with master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering or a related field, as well as strong motivation in fundamental and applied heterogeneous catalysis research are encouraged to apply. Candidates with bachelor’s degree and excellent track of record are also encouraged to apply. Candidates with strong interest should contact Dr. Fudong Liu ( [email protected] ) by sending a copy of CV/Resume, transcript, TOEFL or IELTS score (for minimum requirement, please see the link below with Frequently Asked Questions https://www.cee.ucr.edu/academics/graduate-faq ) and GRE score (if any, not required). The application window is open, and candidates with strong interest in heterogeneous catalysis, environmental catalysis should apply by 01/05/2025 .
