About the author
Yann Garcia studied chemistry and physics at the University of Bordeaux (France), where he also completed his PhD degree with the late Prof. Olivier Kahn. He was a postdoctoral fellow at University of Mainz (Germany) with Prof. Philipp Gütlich. He joined the UCLouvain (Belgium) in 2001 where he is currently a professor of analytical chemistry. His research interests span spin crossover materials, photomagnetic molecular switches, hybrid materials and chemical applications of Mössbauer spectroscopy.
Junhu Wang studied radiochemistry at Lanzhou University (China). He was awarded Master's and PhD degrees (jointly trained with Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) at Toho University (Japan) in 1998 and 2002, respectively. He is full professor & group leader at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). His main research fields are Mössbauer spectroscopic applications and nanometer-sized catalytic materials.
Tao Zhang received his PhD in physical chemistry from DICP, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1989 under the supervision of Prof. Liwu Lin. After postdoctroal research with Prof. Frank Berry at Birmingham University,he founded his own group at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in 1995, where he also became full professor. He was an invited professor at University of Poitiers (France) in the period of 2006-2007 and has been a guest professor at University of Namur (Belgium) since 2011. He was the director of DICP in the period of 2007-2017. He was officially selected as Academician by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013. In 2017, he was promoted as a vice president of Chinese academy of sciences. Over the past decades, Prof. Zhang has successfully designed a great number of nano and subnano metallic catalysts for applications in energy conversion.
