Junwang Tang FRSC, is a Professor of Materials Chemistry and Engineering at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University College London (UCL). He also served as the Director of the University Material Hub (2016-2019).

Education

Tang was educated at Northeastern University (China), where he received his BSc degree in Chemistry in 1995. Then he attended the Institute of Metal Research in China and was awarded a MSc degree in Inorganic Materials in 1998. In 2001, Tang was awarded a PhD in Physical Chemistry with research on heterogeneous catalytic conversion of NO to N2, supervised by Prof Tao Zhang at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), China[2].

Career

In 2002, Tang was awarded a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) search Fellowship and NIMS Researcher, enable to expand his research in Photocatalysis in the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Japan.[3] In 2005, he was appointed as a senior research associate in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London, UK.[4]

In 2009, Tang was appointed as a Lecturer in Energy (permanent position) in Department of Chemical Engineering at University College London, then promoted to a Senior Lecturer in 2011, a Readership in 2014 and finally a Full Professor of Materials Chemistry and Engineering in 2017. During this period, he was also appointed as the Director of University Materials Hub.[5]

Tang is a Member of Academia Europaea[6], a Royal Society Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellow[7], a Fellow of European Academy of Sciences[8], a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry, He also sits on the Editorial Board of four international journals, e.g. Editor of Applied Catalysis B : Environmental, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Advanced Chemical Engineering, Associate Editor of Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering and Associate Editors of Chin Journal of Catalysis), as well as a member of the committees of the RSC Chemical Nanoscience & Nanotechnology. He also sits on the panel of a few counties’ National Science Foundations.

Research

Tang's research interests encompass photocatalytic small molecule activation (eg. CH4[9][10], N2[11], H2O[12], C6H6 and CO2[13][14]) and microwave catalysis (e.g. plastic recycling)[15], together with the investigation of the underlying charge dynamics and kinetics by state-of-the-art spectroscopies[16][17]. According to Google Scholar, these research activities result into >170 journal papers in decent journals.[18]
