معرفی
HU Yuan serves as a Professor at the State Key Laboratory of Fire Science, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), where he leads research in advanced fire safety materials and technologies. His academic journey began with a PhD from USTC in 1997, followed by Associate Professorship (1998-2001) and promotion to full Professor in 2002.
His educational background is anchored at USTC:
- PhD, University of Science & Technology of China (1997)
- Visiting Scholar, The University of Tokyo (1996-1997)
Research focuses on pioneering solutions for fire safety challenges through:
- Development of novel flame retardant polymers and biodegradable materials
- Innovation in polymer nanocomposites with inorganic functional materials
- Advanced fire hazard evaluation methodologies
- Emergency response technologies for hazardous chemical incidents
- Forensic fire investigation techniques
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant trends in nanocomposite-based flame retardancy (60% of works), with strong emphasis on phosphorus chemistry, biodegradable systems, and carbonization mechanisms. Key thematic clusters include intumescent systems for energy materials, zirconium phosphate nanofillers, and eco-friendly alternatives to halogenated retardants.
Honors reflect both research excellence and educational impact:
- Chinese Academy of Science Zhuliyuehua Excellent Teacher Award (2009)
- Anhui Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award (2008)
- National Teaching Achievement Award (2001)
- Anhui Provincial Teaching Achievement Award (2001)
As principal investigator, he has directed substantial research initiatives including one National Basic Research Program (973) subproject, three National Science & Technology Pillar Program subprojects, and three National Natural Science Foundation projects. His team has secured three industrialization projects and multiple Doctoral Program Research Funds. The State Key Laboratory of Fire Science serves as his primary research base, where he develops next-generation fire safety materials through interdisciplinary collaboration with chemical engineers, material scientists, and safety regulators.
