Biography:

YaoJiang earned his Ph.D. degree from Nanjing Tech University and theState Key Laboratory of Materials-Oriented Chemical Engineering in2019. From 2019 to 2021, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in theDepartment of Chemistry at the University of South Florida and theMaterials Science and Engineering at Nanjing Tech University. Afterthat, he joined the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering atHefei University of Technology as a “Huangshan Scholar” talent inNovember 2021.

ResearchInterests：

Dr.Jiang’s current research interest focuses on the development offunctional porous materials, including metal-organic frameworks(MOFs), metal-organic cages (MOCs), covalent organic frameworks(COFs), and porous organic polymers (POPs), for applications inchemical engineering, separation and purification, and environmentalremediation. His work has led to more than 40 papers in peer-reviewedjournals including Acc. Chem. Res., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem.Int. Ed., and AIChE J. as well as several patents.
