Research interests:

•Design， modification， and preparation of adsorption and catalytic materials based on machine learning

• Meso-microporous molecular sieves for catalysis， gas separation and Liquid Separation

• Porous metal-organic frameworks for catalysis， gas separation 

• Activated carbons with high thermal conductivity for catalysis， gas separation 

• Adsorption fundamental research which is focused on (1) gas-solid or liquid-solid equilibria， (2) adsorption dynamics， (3) Cyclic adsorption/desorption processes and models， and (4) field-assisted adsorption and desorption， especially under ultrasonic， microwave or supercritical condition. 

• Environmental catalysis including catalysis reaction processes and catalysts for VOCs control. 

• Adsorption and chromatographic processes involving the removal of organic-sulfur compounds from gasoline and diesel fuels， the removal of trace pollutants from water or gases.
