Guanming Yuan
Guanming Yuan received his Ph.D. from Wuhan University of Science and Technology, China in 2012. He won the prize for the Excellent Doctoral Dissertation of Hubei Province in 2013. He has been an academic visitor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London during 2019.02-2020.02. Now he works as a professor at School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Wuhan University of Science and Technology. Since 2002, he has been engaged in the research, development and application of new carbon materials. Recently his research mainly focuses on the development of carbonaceous mesophase, the preparation of pitch-based carbon fibers and their high-performance composites, the applications of carbon-based high-conductive materials for thermal management and carbon-based high-efficient catalysts for hydrogen-production and hydrogenation. Up to now, the research work has received many funded research projects from the government and enterprise. As a principal investigator, he has chaired one National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 52072275) and executively completed five ones (Nos. 50672070, 50972110, 91016003, 51372177, U1960106). Currently he has published more than 80 academic papers in peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Carbon) and applied for more than 20 Chinese invention patents (12 authorized). Now he acts as a Member in Carbon Branch of China Metal Society, serves as a technical advisor for several domestic carbon companies (e.g., Jining Carbon Group Co., Ltd.), as a Youth Editorial Board Member of Journal of Inorganic Materials and a Review Editor for Frontiers in Materials, and as a peer reviewer for several international journals (e.g., Carbon, Composites Part B, Energy & Fuels, New Carbon Materials, etc.).
