Feng received his doctorate degree in chemistry at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2004; then spent two years as a research assistant at the University of Greifswald in Germany working on the development of low-cost microbial fuel cells for wastewater treatment. In 2007, Dr. Zhao came to the University of Surrey in UK as a senior research officer, and there his research focused on the development of bio-electrochemical systems for wastewater treatment and renewable energy generation. He was awarded a research grant through the prestigious “Hundred Talents Program” of Chinese Academy of Sciences and moved to Institute of Urban Environment in 2010. His papers in peer-reviewed journals have been cited more than 2200 times, H index=23, and one is the most cited article of Electrochemistry Communications in 2005-2009. His scientific interests are in the areas of bio-energy & environmental technology; wastewater/waste treatment using bio-electrochemical systems.
