Mesoporous Materials for Advanced Energy Storage and Conversion Technologies (ePub)

Dr. Jiang obtained his BEng in Materials Science and Engineering from South China University of Technology in 1982 and his PhD in Electrochemistry from The City University, London in 1988. Dr. Jiang worked as Senior Research Scientist in CSIRO Manufacturing Science and Technology Division, Australia from 1992 to 2001 and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as Associate Professor from 2001 to 2010. Since 2010, Dr. Jiang joined Curtin University as a Professor in Department of Chemical Engineering and became the Deputy Director of Fuels and Energy Technology Institute in 2011. Dr. Jiang has over 20 years experience in fuel cells, electrocatalysis, nano and mesoporous materials, nanocomposite materials for energy storage and conversion applications, and is an inventor of the heteropolyacid functionalized mesoporous silica as novel high temperature proton exchange membranes for fuel cells. His research has been extensively supported by funding agencies such as Singapore Agency for Science, Technology & Research, Singapore Defense Science & Technology Agency, Ministry of Education of Singapore, US Air Force Research Laboratory, and US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. After joining Curtin University in July 2010, he has secured one ARC-Linkage and four ARC-discovery projects with research funding of over $3 million as project leader. He has given over 60 invited lectures, published over 280 journal papers, authored and co-authored 10 book chapters, and co-edited three books on fuel cells. He serves as an Editorial Board member for Scientific Reports, Journal of Electrochemistry, Chinese Society of Electrochemistry, and serves as reviewer for over 50 international journals.
