It was reported that FENG Xinliang, an alumnus (class of 2001) from School of Materials Science and Chemistry at CUG, was elected as a member of the European Academy of Sciences.
FENG Xinliang, born in 1980, studied at CUG from 1997 to 2001 majoring in Industrial Analysis as undergraduate student and then obtained a master's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2004. Afterwards, he studied in Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and received a doctor's degree in 2008. He is currently a chair professor at Dresden University of Technology in Germany and a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He is the first Chinese to get a tenure position in Chemistry in German universities. Due to his outstanding contributions in the field of graphene research, he won 2017 German Hamburg Science Prize together with German scientist Klaus Müllen.
On March 22, 2019, a monograph entitled "Charting a Course for Chemistry" was published on "Nature Chemistry" magazine for celebrating the 10th anniversary of the founding of the magazine. The magazine invited more than 50 well-known chemists around the world to write articles, putting forward challenging problems in various fields of chemistry and providing a guiding blueprint for key challenges and their evolution. As a signature author, FENG Xinliang put forward challenging problems in the field of synthetic chemistry.
