Yuanyuan Chu, female, PhD., born Heilongjiang, China, Professor and Master Supervisor in Tiangong University, Visiting Scholar at Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL). Mainly focus on basic research and its application of materials in energy catalysis and electrochemical catalysis, etc. I chaired one National Natural Science Foundation of China project and one provincial and ministerial level projects. I have published 40 scientific research papers and applied for ~10 patents, with 4 granted patents.
From 2011 until now, I do research and teaching in Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (former 2018, the name is School of Environmental and Chemical Engineering), Tiangong University. I teach Chemical Reaction Engineering and Advanced Energy Materials courses.
