Aiqin Wang received her PhD degree of physical chemistry from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) in 2001 and worked as an assistant professor in DICP for two years. After two-year postdoctoral fellow in National Taiwan University, she returned to DICP in 2005 and joined Prof. Tao Zhang’s group where she was promoted to a full professor in 2009. She became a joint professor of State Key Laboratory of Catalysis in 2013 and a chair professor in 2017. Her research interests include catalytic conversion of biomass, subnano- and single-atom catalysts, and green synthesis of value-added chemicals. She is the author or co-author of more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific publications, and serves as an editorial board member of Chinese Journal of Catalysis and an Advisory Board member for Sustainable Energy and Fuels.
