Prof. Yi Cheng?received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from Tsinghua University in 1994 and 2000.?He worked as a research fellow at Delft University of Technology (11/1998-11/2000), and then as a postdoc research associate at University of Western Ontario (02/2001-03/2003). In March 2003, he joined Tsinghua University as an associate professor, and was promoted to full professor in December 2007. His research interests lie in the field of multiphase reactor engineering in relation to the applications for energy, environment and materials, especially using unconventional means of process intensification (i.e., plasmas and confined micro-channel or micro-droplets) to solve reaction engineering problems.
