Speaker
Dr.-Ing. Bo Peng
SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Processing Co., Ltd., Beijing, China.
Bo Peng received B.S. and M.S. degrees from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University, respectively. He obtained his doctorate (Dr.-Ing.) on chemical technology from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in 2016, being the first Asian recipient of this degree in the department. From 2017, he worked at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL, US Department of Energy) as a postdoctoral associate and was transitioned to research engineer in 2019. He returned to China at the end of 2019, joining the SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Processing (RIPP) as staff engineer. He was appointed to institute expert and research fellow in 2022 and 2023, respectively. In 2024, RIPP re-established the Department of Basic Research, where he currently serves as its deputy director. He is also the director of the Youth Academic Committee at RIPP.
