Biography

Yizhi Xiang is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical 糖心Vlog传媒 at the University of Missouri. Prior to joining Mizzou, he served as an associate professor/Texas Olefins endowed professorship at Mississippi State University. Xiang obtained his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Zhejiang University of Technology and completed postdoc training at the Universit茅 Libre de Bruxelles and Washington State University. His research focuses on the development of innovative thermal and electrified catalytic systems for decarbonized energy storage and transformations, including greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) capture and conversion, H2 storage/production and energy-efficient hydrocarbon upgrading. His approach is through the rational design of catalytic materials and reaction pathways for more efficient catalytic transformations in thermal, plasma and electrically heated catalytic reactors. Xiang鈥檚 research has been published in more than 60 peer-reviewed papers in the top journals of chemistry/catalysis/chemical engineering, such as JACS, Nature Communications, ACS Catalysis and I&ECR. Xiang has served the community through the organization of sessions and symposia at national ACS and AIChE meetings, as a guest editor of 鈥淐atalysis Today鈥, as an editorial board member of 鈥淪ustainability Science and Technology鈥 and as a referee for many grants and papers.
