Abstract
The China-UK Low Carbon College (LCC) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, established in May 2017, is a joint initiative in the field of low carbon between two world renowned universities – Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Edinburgh. As the first low carbon college in China, LCC aims to build up a talent database of world-leading experts in the low carbon fields, lead fundamental research in low carbon disciplines, and offer executive training services for governments and enterprises. In this seminar, Prof. Chang-Ying Zhao will provide an overview of the Low Carbon College, with a focus on its three pillars which are graduate education, scientific research, and executive training, and what the college has achieved so far.
Bio
Prof. Chang-Ying Zhao is the Chair Professor, the Director of the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, and the Dean of China-UK Low Carbon College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Prof. Zhao is the Principal Investigator for quite a few major research projects sponsored by Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and Ministry of Science and Technology of China. Prof. Zhao’s research interests mainly cover micro/nanoscale thermal radiation and metamaterial energy devices, advanced thermal energy storage and hydrogen storage, and heat transfer in porous media. He has published over 280 papers in peer-reviewed high quality journals like Nature Materials, Physical Review Letters, Nano Letters, IJHMT, Annual Review of Heat Transfer, Energy and Environmental Science, Chemical Engineering Journal, etc., which are cited more than 17000 times in total. Prof. Zhao has also been recognized as one of the Most Cited Chinese Researchers by Elsevier every year since 2014. He was awarded the William Begell Medal in 2023 for Excellence in Thermal Science and Engineering, the Shanghai Natural Science Award (First Class) by Shanghai Municipal Government in 2020, and the Best Paper Award of the ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat and Mass Transfer International Conference for twice, in 2013 and 2019, respectively. Prof. Zhao serves as a member of the Scientific Council of International Center for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT), a Founding Fellow and Executive Board Member of Asian Union of Thermal Science and Engineering (AUTSE), Vice-Director of the Heat and Mass Transfer Society of China, as well as a Board Member of the Nukiyama Memorial Award. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of Carbon Neutrality, Associate Editor of Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, as well as Editorial Board Members of several other international journals.
