Chemical Engineering for Energy and Resource Utilization
Peng Peng is a doctoral supervisor at the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Mescoscience and Engineering. Prof. Peng obtained his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and conducted postdoctoral research at Columbia University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Prior to joining the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Prof. Peng was a Research Scientist at LBNL, and the Principal Investigator (P.I.) of multiple projects funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Prof. Peng was the Hydrogen lead of DOE's Transformative Pathways for U.S. Industry, the LBNL lead of DOE's 2024 PV Cost Benchmark, and the recycling lead for the Model Quality and Performance Guidelines for Off-Grid Refrigerating Appliances (United Nations Environmental Programme).
As a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) in the U.S., Prof. Peng also served as senior research personnel for DOE's Hydrogen Materials Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC), Industrial Efficiency & Decarbonization Office (IEDO, now Industrial Technologies Office) Strategic Analysis team, and the HydroGEN Advanced Water Splitting Materials Consortium.
Prof. Peng’s work has been published (as first and/or corresponding author) in peer-reviewed journals including Nature Energy, Nature Sustainability (front cover), ACS Energy Letters, Applied Energy, etc. His work has been featured in Nature's Research Highlight and Nature Sustainability's News & Views, and has been reported in Science News.
