Dr Wenbin Zhang is currently a Senior Lecturer in School of Engineering and Computer Science in University of Hertfordshire. He obtained both Bachelor and PhD of Engineering from State Key Lab of Coal Clean Combustion technology (SKLCCC), Dept. of Thermal Engineering, Tsinghua University in China. He had been working as a Research Fellow in Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, University of Birmingham, University of Nottingham and University of Warwick. His research expertise lies in Fluidized bed technologies, carbon capture using solid adsorbents, biomass gasification and combustion, CFD/DEM modelling etc. He is an invited reviewer for several international scientific journals including Chemical Engineering Science, Advances in Fluids Mechanics, Bioscience and Biomedical Engineering, International journal of Thermodynamics and Catalysis. He is also an editorial board member of International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, Energies and IntechOpen Publishing. He is a Fellow of Higher Education Academy of UK. He holds academic memberships of World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET), UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC). He has delivered plenary addresses/keynote papers and invited lectures/seminars at more than 30 international conferences/workshops.
