Xin Qian目前是佐治亚理工学院（顾问：Meilin Liu教授）的材料科学与工程学院的博士后研究员。他获得了博士学位获得西北大学的材料科学与工程学博士学位（顾问：Sossina M. Haile教授）在获得硕士学位后于2021年2016年上海若昂大学的材料科学与工程学博士学位和学士学位2013年在中国的达利安理工大学的材料物理学博士学位，并以“杰出毕业生”的荣誉毕业。他的研究涵盖了固态氧化物和金属材料，可通过电化学和热化学方法采用可再生能源存储和清洁燃料生产应用。他的硕士research on lithium-ion batteries, during which he developed an alternative electrodeposition technique for the preparation of large-area silicon anodes, he joined Prof. Haile’s lab at Northwestern University and developed novel nonstoichiometric perovskite oxides for solar-driven thermochemical production of hydrogen fuel, with a focus on understanding the fundamental correlation of the structural characteristics, redox thermodynamics, and reaction kinetics of nonstoichiometric oxides to the thermochemical fuel evolution rates. In addition to the remarkable thermochemical hydrogen productivity that he achieved using perovskite oxides, he developed novel protocols for the experimental assessment of redox thermodynamic properties of solids by thermogravimetric analysis, achieving increased accuracy. To date, he has (co)authored 15 technical papers in respected journals (e.g., Matter, Chem. Mater.) and delivered 2 presentations at international conferences. Following his Ph.D. studies, he starts a postdoctoral fellowship at the Georgia Institute of Technology and continues to explore alternative pathways for renewable energy storage using solid state ionic materials and devices, with a particular focus on developing a hybrid fuel cell system based on proton conductors for power generation and reversible hydrogen production.
