Chaoji Chen, Professor of School of Resource and Environmental Sciences at the Wuhan University. Dr. Chen focuses on the engineering, functionalization, and potential sustainable uses of biomass resources, such as wood, bamboo, cellulose and chitin, toward addressing the material-energy-environmental challenges. Chen has published 1 book and more than 100 SCI articles, including Nature, Science, Nature Reviews Materials, Nature Sustainability, among others. Chen has made several breakthroughs in the field of wood nanotechnology toward sustainability, including “super wood” that is as strong as steel but six-times lighter to replace steel and moldable wood that is as strong as Al alloy and highly formable. His works have been widely cited by global researchers for over 21000 times with an H-factor of 79 (Google Scholar), and broadly covered by Nature, Science, MIT Technology Review, Xinhua Net, among others. He was featured in the Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers 2021 List (Materials Science) and the World’s Top 2% Scientists Career-Long List from 1960 to 2021 identified by Stanford University. Chen received multiple awards including MIT Technology Review “35 Innovators Under 35” Asia Pacific Award, China’s Rising Star of Science and Technology Outstanding Impact Award, and R&D 100 Awards. He serves as the editorial board member or youth editorial board member of several journals including The Innovation, SusMat, Environmental Science & Ecotechnology, Batteries, Molecules, and member of the Cellulose Professional Committee of the Chinese Chemical Society
