Assoc Prof. Dr. Guo Tian | Machine Learning and Statistics | Best Researcher Award

Tsinghua University | China

Assoc Prof. Dr. Guo Tian is an accomplished young chemical engineer whose research lies at the frontier of sustainable catalysis and CO₂/CO conversion. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering under Prof. Xuezhi Duan at the East China University of Science and Technology and pursued his doctoral studies in Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University under the guidance of Prof. Fei Wei. Following his doctoral training, he joined Southwest Jiaotong University as an Associate Professor and Principal Investigator. At only twenty-five years of age, Guo has led pioneering work on high-pressure thermo-catalytic systems, including the design of a reactor capable of stable operation at up to 60 bar integrated with surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) for in-situ monitoring of reaction intermediates. His studies have revealed critical mechanistic pathways in CO/CO₂ conversion using bifunctional catalysts, identifying oxygenate intermediates as key to improving the traditional methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) mechanism. Drawing inspiration from biological systems, he has advanced the concept of bio-inspired multifunctional catalysts and introduced the innovative idea of “catalytic shunt” strategies to enhance selectivity and efficiency. Combining experimental research with density-functional theory (DFT) and micromodel simulations, his work bridges molecular-level understanding with reactor-scale engineering. Dr. Tian has authored numerous influential publications in high-impact journals such as Nature Sustainability, Nature Communications, ACS Catalysis, and the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Notable among these are “Efficient syngas conversion via catalytic shunt” (Nature Sustainability), and “Upgrading CO₂ to sustainable aromatics via perovskite-mediated tandem catalysis” (Nature Communications). According to his Scopus profile, he has authored 14 documents, accumulated around 297 citations, and holds an h-index of 9, reflecting a strong and growing impact in the field. His expertise includes thermochemical measurement and data analysis, catalytic materials design, reactor and reaction-system development, in-situ spectroscopy (SEM, XRD, XPS, XAS), and DFT-based theoretical modeling. Integrating theory, advanced characterization, and engineering innovation, Guo Tian’s vision focuses on transforming CO₂ and CO into high-value sustainable fuels such as aviation fuel components, contributing to global carbon-neutral energy goals. Through his scientific rigor, leadership, and creativity, he has rapidly emerged as a rising star in heterogeneous catalysis and sustainable chemical engineering.
