Yingnan Feng

He graduated from the Department of Chemical and biomolecular Engineering, National University of Singapore, under the supervision of Professor Chung Tai-Shung, an expert in the field of membrane separation and academician of the Singapore Academy of Engineering. In 2021, he joined the research team of advanced functional membranes and membrane processes in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, and engaged in research related to membrane separation. Currently, he is also a member of the Professional Committee of hydrophobic membrane technology and engineering Application of China Membrane Industry Association.

He focuses on the preparation of high-performance organic films, including the investigation of film forming mechanism, membrane structure regulation and surface property modulation, as well as the surface construction of ultra-infiltrated organic films.
