Prof. Jianxin Li
Director of China National Center for International Res. on Membrane Science and Technology, Tiangong University, China
Prof. Jianxin Li is serving as the Director of China National Center for International Res. on Membrane Science and Technology, Tiangong University, China since its inception in 2016 as the founding Director. Prof. Jianxin Li started his academic career in 2002 as a research associate at the University of Colorado at Boulder (USA) after obtaining a Ph.D. (Polymer Science) from the University of Stellenbosch. In the years that followed, I held various visiting professor positions in Japan, USA and China. Currently, he holds a position as Professor and Principal Investigator at China State Key Laboratory of Separation Membranes and Membrane Processes (SKL-SMMP), Tiangong University (formerly Tianjin Polytechnic University). He also works for the Institute of Nanotechnology and Water Sustainability, the University of South Africa as a professor extraordinarius. He has established a large research activity with a special focus on electro-catalysis and separation membranes and thus plays an increasingly important role in water treatment and resource recovery. To date, he has supervised over 90 Master's and Ph.D. students to completion. He has published more than 220 research papers in peer-reviewed journals, 115 conference papers, 6 book chapters, and 23 patents granted in various regions across the world.
