We are delighted to welcome Dr Hui Luo, University of Surrey, as an Associate Editor!
| Dr Hui Luo (MRSC, MIMMM, FHEA) is an RAEng research fellow and Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering, and part of the Surrey Circular Economy Group at the University of Surrey.
She obtained her PhD in materials science from Queen Mary University of London in 2019, working on carbon materials for solar hydrogen conversion. In Oct 2019, she moved to Imperial College London working as a research associate, developing biomass electrolyser for green hydrogen and bio-chemical co-production. In Sep 2022, she worked as a senior test engineering at Ceres, before joining Surrey in May 2023. She leads the Catalysis for Chemical Circularity group (C4CC), and her research interests include developing and up-scaling efficient mechanocatalytic and electrolysis technologies to convert biomass and plastic wastes into green hydrogen and high-value commodity chemicals. |
