Dr. Jiawei Yang obtained the Ph.D. in Catalysis Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University in 2017. Prior to this, he received the bachelor's degree in Applied Chemistry from the School of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) in 2009. During the school year, he received the National Inspirational Scholarship of China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing).

The main research content of Dr. Jiawei Yang during his Ph. D. are the relationship between the structure of Pt in the nanostructured Au-Pt system and its catalytic hydrogenation performance, and the relationship between the forbidden band width of the oxide semiconductor and its catalytic combustion of formaldehyde.
