Profile
Guozhan was awarded his BSc in Polymer Chemistry and Engineering
from Tianjin University of China in 1991. After graduation, he worked
as a chemical process engineer in the China National Petroleum
Corporation for eight years.
In 1999, he came to the UK as a visiting researcher at the Institute
of Polymer Technology and Materials Engineering at Loughborough
University. Following a year of research there, he undertook his PhD
study at the University of Nottingham on the synthesis of biodegradable
polymer and composites, graduating in 2004. Subsequently, he took a
research fellow position at the University of Nottingham. His
postdoctoral research was on polymer decomposition, with a special
focus on epoxy resin decomposition in fluidised bed and in
supercritical fluids. The work mainly involved process development and
analysis of decomposition products.
Guozhan joined Bioenergy
Research Group of Aston University in July 2007 after working at
Nottingham University for seven years. His research at Aston is focused
on thermal processing of biomass and upgrading of the bio-oils obtained
in this process.
