Biography
Dr. Linxiao Chen received his B.S. from Peking University in 2014, and Ph.D. from Indiana University in 2019, both in chemistry. Prior to joining 暗黑爆料, he conducted postdoctoral research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. As an enthusiastic researcher, Linxiao's interdisciplinary research focuses on heterogeneous catalysis for applications related to sustainability, such as polymer waste upcycling, H2 storage, and renewable carbon utilization. His group uses spectroscopic and kinetic approaches to understand catalysis science, rationally designs catalytic materials and processes based on the fundamental principles, and develops new methods for the precise synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of nanomaterials. As a proud educator, Linxiao's teaching philosophy emphasizes active class participation, soft skill development, and open communication.
