Prof. Dr. Jie Feng is a Professor at the Taiyuan University of Technology. He received his Ph.D. from Taiyuan University of Technology in 1998 and did postdoctoral work at Monash University in Australia and Imperial College in the UK. From 2004 to 2005, he was a senior visiting scholar at the University of Florida in the United States, engaged in biomass gasification research. As the project leader, he presided over/undertook/participated in 20 projects including the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the 973 project sub-topics etc. As the main contributor, he won one second prize in the National Natural Science Award in 2008 and four second prizes or above in provincial and ministerial science and technology awards. He is engaged in research on the basic theory of biomass and coal conversion and the improvement of gasification reactor design/process. He has established a quantitative relationship between coal structure and reactivity to predict the pyrolysis reactivity of coal and proposed a theory on the efficient utilization of energy and elements in the thermal processing of multi-component materials.
