Prof. Qingfeng Ge from Southern Illinois University, USA visited our lab on June 13, 2016, and gave a talk titled by Catalytic CO₂ Hydrogenation over the In₂O₃-based Catalysts.

Dr. Qingfeng Ge is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Dr. Ge received his education in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University, China, obtaining B.S., M.S. and Ph.D degrees. He worked in Copenhagen University, Denmark, Cambridge University, U.K. and University of Virginia before joining SIUC as an Assistant Professor in 2003. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2007 and to Professor in 2010. A main thrust of his research is using modeling/simulation to address materials issues related to energy and environment. His experiences ranged from experimental characterization and kinetics modeling of catalysts to first principles based simulations of various materials. He is one of the 70 recipients of the Presidential Hydrogen Fuel Initiative awards in the US in 2005.
