About author:
Ronghe Lin (Hangzhou Institute of Advanced Studies, Zhejiang Normal University) received his B.S. From Taiyuan University of Technology in 2005 and Ph.D. degree in 2010 from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences. He then stayed at DICP until 2015 and was an associate professor since 2013. He did postdoctoral research at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) with Prof. Javier Pérez-Ramírez in 2015-2019. After that he joined Zhejiang Normal University to start independent research centering on studying challenging reactions (selective hydrogenation, CO2 valorization, etc.) with industrial relevance by coupling advanced catalyst design, kinetic and spectroscopic studies. He has coauthored about 70 peer-reviewed papers.Supported by:
