Prof. Dr. Yulong Ding

Prof. Dr. Yulong DING is the founding Chamberlain Chair of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham and director of the Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage. Before his appointment at the University of Birmingham, he was Professor and Director of the Institute of Particle Science & Engineering at the University of Leeds. He joined Leeds in June 2001, after previous employment with Imperial College London (1997-1999), the University of Birmingham (1999-2001), and University of Science and Technology Beijing (1988-1994). Professor Ding was awarded the IChemE Clean Energy Medal (2021) and was a receiver of IChemE Global Awards in three categories of Energy, Research Project and Outstanding Achievement Awards in 2019; the Distinguished Energy Storage Individual Award (Beijing International Energy Storage and Expo, 2018); the Cryogenic Energy Storage Research Chair Award (Royal Academy of Engineering, 2014); Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Progress Award (First Prize, Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage System, 2014). His current research covers both fundamental (multiphase transport phenomena across length scales) and applied (new energy conversion and storage technologies) aspects.
