chairman of the National Alliance of Innovative Waste to Energy. He is also chairman of both the Zhejiang Provincial Association of Renewable Energy and Zhejiang Provincial Association of Waste Treatment and Resource Utilization.




Prof. ChangMing Du received the Ph.D. in 2006 from ZheJiang University. He is currently an Associate Professor of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Sun Yat-Sen University, working on plasma environmental technology, waste treatment and reusing technology. He is skilled in equipment manufacturing and product innovation. He has hosted/taken part in 25 scientific research projects and built up industrial/pilot 6 demonstration facilities. He has applied for 80 patents, and published 3 monographs.


His research was published by the international journals such as Chemical reviews, Scientific Reports, Applied Energy, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Journal of Hazardous Materials. He has contributed more than 85 journal papers, 53 of which have been recorded in SCI.

Prof. ChangMing Du has been engaged in investigations on plasma environmental protection and plasma energy conversion for the past 12 years. By studying the physical, chemical and biophysical processes involved in plasma-assisted environmental applications, he has contributed to the identification and quantitative evaluation of the plasma agents, theoretical and technological systems for plasma catalysis, plasma integrated purification and hydrogen production from wastes via plasma. He has also designed a series of novel plasma generators and independently developed a range of novel plasma-assisted environment-protection equipment. He has published 65 academic papers, more than 40 of which have been recorded in SCI (with 136 SCI Total Impact Points, 297 other Citations and an H index of 13). Since 2010, he has published one monograph independently, has applied for 46 invention patents independently, and has published 26 SCI papers, 12 of which were signed by the applicant as the first/corresponding author (which have been received by many international journals such as Chem Rev (1 paper, SCI IF=46.568). In addition, he was selected as the "Science and Technology New Star in Zhu Jiang" in 2013, and received the 9th "Youth Technological award" in 2014, which was awarded by China environmental science academy.
