Profile
Liqun Kang is a UCL Graduate Research Scholarships (UCL-GRS) and Overseas Research Scholarships (UCL-ORS) recipient and PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering of UCL. Liqun holds a BSc degree in Chemistry from Peking University. His research projects focus on heterogeneous catalysis and operando spectroscopy. As the first author, Liqun has published his research of single site catalysis in Nature Communications (2020) and Angewandte Chemie (2020). In addition, his collaborative research has appeared in various international peer-reviewed journals, acrossing multiple displines such as advanced synchrotron techniques, surface science, nanotechnology, battery materials, fuel cells, biomass conversion et al. Moreover, his research has also been featured in several oral presentations at international conferences. As an early career researcher, he has successfully secured small research grants of more than 3000 GBP from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), and University College London (UCL). So far, he has over 3,000-hour experimental experience at seven different synchrotrons, including DLS, DESY, BESSY-II, Spring-8, PLS-II, BSRF and SSRF. He is skilled in operation and data analysis of several advanced characterization techniques, including STEM, NAP-XPS, NAP-NEXAFS, SXPD, XAFS, HERFD-XANES, XES, XRF, Hard X-ray micro/nano-probe imaging, et al.
