Bio:

George Zheng Chen (CChem, FRSC, FRSA, FIMMM) received his Teaching Diploma in 1981 (Chemistry, Jiujiang Teacher Training College, now Jiujiang University), MSc in 1985 (Physical Chemistry/Electrochemistry, Fujian Normal University), and PhD (University of London) and DIC (Physical Chemistry/Electrochemistry, Diploma of Imperial College) in 1992. After postdoctoral research in the Universities of Oxford (1992) and Leeds (1994), he moved to the University of Cambridge (1996), taking up positions of Senior Research Associate (1998), and Assistant Director of Research (2001). In Cambridge, he was awarded the Schlumberger Interdisciplinary Research Fellowship (2000) and elected to Official Fellow (2003) of Darwin College. He joined the University of Nottingham as Reader in 2003, and was promoted to Associate Professor and Reader in 2006, and to Professor in 2009. He was lecturer of Jiangxi University (1985-1988), and also specially invited professor of the University of Mediterranee (2007) and Wuhan University (2000-2010), and senior academic visitor of Fudan University (2014-2016).

Between Nov 2014 and Sept 2019, Prof. Chen undertook full time academic duties in the University's China Campus in Ningbo (official name: University of Nottingham Ningbo China, UNNC), and is now leading the Electrochemical Technologies Group (ETG) in both the UK (full time) and China (visiting) Campuses. Since July 2017, he has been appointed Li Dak Sum Chair Professor of Electrochemical Technologies in the UNNC. He also holds visiting positions in Wuhan University of Science and Technology, and Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (CAS).

Prof. Chen has undertaken various research projects funded by e.g. the EPSRC, Royal Society, MoST (China), MoSTI (Malaysia), E.ON and Ningbo Municipal Government, with the outputs being documented in over 800 of journal, conference and patent publications. Some aspects of his research are being developed by the industry (e.g. The FFC Cambridge Process by Metalysis, and Supercapattery by E.ON). He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the TMS Reactive Metals Technology Award (2001, 2004), the Royal Society Brian Mercer Feasibility Award (2007), the E.ON International Research Award (2008), the Inman Medal (2014), and Specially Invited Expert of Zhejiang Province (2015).

The OCRiD of Prof. Chen is 0000-0002-5589-5767. On 28 July 2020, Web of Science recorded 254 articles from Prof. Chen with 13278 citations and an h-index of 64, and his record in Google Scholar included 387 publications with more than 170231 citations and an h-index of 71.
