Short   Biography

Dr.   Zhao took part in job first as a research assistant in 1997 and then as an   associate professor in 2012 at Jiangsu University. In 2010, he obtained PhD   from Jiangsu University.

From   2003, he carried out the research work on applying gas discharge and non-thermal   plasma to treat engine exhaust pollutants for Ph.D degree, and then he is committed   to applying electric fields as a means of process intensification for   preparation and conversion of biomass energy. Recently, he joined in several   research projects about Biomass pyrolysis, Bio-oil upgrading, preparation and   application of Biodiesel funded by Chinese governments. He works hard towards   renewable clean energies and their utilization with high efficiency.

Now,   he serves as an associate professor in Power Machinery Department. During   academic activities, he puts great efforts on cultivating talents, research   projects and social service.
