Prof. GAO Shiqiu was born in 1964. He graduated from Shenyang Institute of Chemical Technology for his bachelor degree in 1987 and from Dalian University of Technology for his master degree in 1990. Then he worked in the Department of Chemical Engineering of Shenyang Research Institute of Chemical Industry until he became an oversea student in Japan in 1992. He got his doctor degree from Faculty of Engineering of the Gunma University in 1996. He has worked in Japan between 1996 and 2000, as an assistant professor in Gunma University for two years and research associate in Koei Chemical Co., Ltd. for two years. He joined the Institute of Process Engineering of CAS in 2000, first as an associate professor and then a professor in 2006. He has published more than 120 refereed papers in journals, coauthored two books and applied for more than 50 China invention patents.
