Jinlong Gong studied chemical engineering and received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Tianjin University and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Texas at Austin under the guidance of C. B. Mullins. After a stint with Professor George M. Whitesides as a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University, he joined the faculty of Tianjin University, where he currently holds a Cheung Kong Chair Professorship in chemical engineering. He was a visiting scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in 2007. He has served on the editorial boards for several journals including Chemical Society Reviews, Chemical Science, and AIChE Journal. He has also served as an associate editor for ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He has published more than 200 papers in peer-refereed journals (with citation over 10000 times and H-index of 53) and been listed as a co-inventor on 67 patents and applications. His research interests in catalysis include catalytic conversions of green energy, novel utilizations of carbon oxides, and synthesis and applications of nanostructured materials.
