معرفی
Ping Lu, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Rowan University, within the College of Science & Mathematics. His research focuses on nanoscience, polymer science, catalysis, and sustainable materials for energy and environmental applications. He completed his BS and MS in Chemistry at Donghua University, China, followed by a PhD in Agricultural & Environmental Chemistry from the University of California, Davis. Postdoctoral training included Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis and Georgia Institute of Technology/Emory University.
Research interests include nanomaterials synthesis for energy storage, eco-friendly fabrication methods, and catalytic systems for environmental remediation. He leads the Lu Lab (http://www.luslab.com/) and is affiliated with professional societies like the American Chemical Society (ACS) and Materials Research Society (MRS). His work emphasizes green chemistry, with publications spanning advanced materials for CO2 capture, drug delivery systems, and electrochemical wastewater treatment.
Key contributions include developing thermally triggered nanocapillary systems for thermal energy storage and sinter-resistant catalysts. Current projects explore bio-inspired superhydrophobic materials and scalable nanofiber production techniques. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but his work is funded through grants supporting sustainable materials innovation. Advising focuses on graduate and undergraduate research in nanomaterials and environmental chemistry.
