Cao Longsheng, male, Distinguished Professor (Independent PI) of the University of Science and Technology of China, National High-level Young Talent (Overseas). Born in Tangshan, Hebei in 1988, he received a bachelor's degree in engineering from China University of Petroleum (Beijing) in 2011, and a doctorate from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2018. From 2018 to 2021, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Maryland, USA. From 2022 to 2023, he served as an associate researcher/researcher at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In May 2023, he joined the Suzhou Institute of Advanced Studies/School of Chemistry and Materials Science, University of Science and Technology of China. His main research contents include bionic superfluidity, secondary batteries, and key materials and technologies for water electrolysis. His research involves the cross-integration of multiple chemical engineering/chemical sub-disciplines such as electrochemistry/engineering, physical chemistry, and nanotechnology. Related research work has been published in more than 20 international journals such as Nature Nanotech. (1 article), Angew. Chem. Int. (3 articles), JACS (1 article), Chem (1 article), Nature Com. (1 article), Nano Energy (1 article). 16 Chinese patents have been applied for and 5 have been authorized.
The research group welcomes undergraduates, masters, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows to join!
