Prof. Zhen Fang (方真教授, 加拿大工程院院士) is leader and founder of biomass group at Nanjing Agricultural University. He is the inventor of “fast hydrolysis” process. He is Editor-in-Chief of Springer Book Series – Biofuels and Biorefineries, Elected Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (FCAE, 2021), Associate Editor of Biotechnol Biofuels (Springer) and Associate Editor of J Supercrit Fluid (Elsevier, 2018-20). He is also editorial (advisory) board members of J Supercrit Fluid, Biofuel Bioprod Bior (Wiley, 2012-18) and Energy Sustain Soc (Springer). Prof. Fang is specializing in thermal/biochemical conversion of biomass, nanocatalysts synthesis and their applications, pretreatment of biomass for biorefineries and supercritical fluid processes. He obtained his PhDs from China Agricultural University (Agricultural Engineering, Beijing) and McGill University (Materials Engineering, Montreal) as well as received further postdoc training in Chemical Engineering in Spain (Marie Curie Fellowship, Universidad de Zaragoza). He is listed in the “Most Cited Chinese Researchers” every year from 2014 to 2021 (Elsevier-Scopus).

He has more than 20-year international research experiences at top universities and institutes around the world, including 1 year in Spain (University of Zaragoza), 3 years in Japan (Biomass Technology Research Center, AIST; Tohoku University), and more than 8 years in Canada (McGill) in renewable energy and green technologies. He has worked for 7 years as a senior engineer in energy, bioresource utilization and engine design in industry before moving to academia. He won the “Governor’s Friendship (Caiyun) Award” in 2012 in Yunnan for his outstanding contributions to the study and utilization of Jatropha biodiesel and bioenergy, 2013 “S&T Progress Award” (the first place) of Xishuangbanna Prefecture for Breeding of New Varieties of Jatropha, and 2017 “Excellent Supervisor Award” of Chinese Academy of Sciences and 2020 “Excellent Teacher Award” of Nanjing Agricultural University for training students. He won 2020 “Springer-Nature China New Development Awards” for significant contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, 2022 Overseas Chinese Contribution Award.

方真,男,斯普林格系列丛书《生物燃料和生物炼制》总编辑,可再生能源和绿色技术专家,南京农业大学教授。他在生物质水解、生物柴油生产、生物燃料合成纳米催化剂、水热技术等领域做出了重要贡献,2021年当选加拿大工程院院士FCAE

祖籍:浙江慈溪。

出身地: 福建邵武。

教育:福建省 泰宁实验小学毕业、泰宁一中毕业(泰宁县高考状元)、中国农业大学学士、硕士、博士(导师: 曾德超院士)、加拿大麦吉尔大学博士(导师: JA Kozinski院士)、欧共体博士后(居里夫人奖学金)。

方真教授在西班牙(萨拉戈萨大学)、日本(通产省工业技术院、东北大学)、加拿大(麦吉尔大学)工作12年后,于2007年全职回国,先后在中科院(昆明)和南京农业大学工作。


作为Springer系列丛书“生物燃料和生物炼制”总编辑,他负责的编委会,由八位世界著名的生物燃料和生物炼制专家组成(两位美国工程院院士NAE member,四位加拿大工程院院士FCAE,一位加拿大皇家学会院士FRSC和一位日本东北大学著名教授)。

 

Editorial Board Members:


Professor Jamal Chaouki, Polytechnique Montréal, Canada (FCAE);
