应纳米材料与化学研究部俞书宏教授的邀请，6月13日，美国Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Notre Dame的Prof. Franklin (Feng) Tao前来实验室进行学术交流与访问，并为师生们做“Action of Nanocatalysts under Reaction Conditions”的学术报告。
　　Franklin (Feng) Tao graduated from the Princeton University in 2006 with a PhD degree in chemistry. After two years’ of postdoctoral study with Professor Gabor A. Somorjai at Berkeley, he joined University of Notre Dame and is currently a Tenure-track Assistant Professor of Chemistry there. The research projects of Franklin (Feng) Tao group are in the interdisciplinary field of heterogeneous catalysis, nanoscience, analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, and surface science. His group focuses on important catalysis at nanoscale involved in energy harvest and conversion, pollution control, and environmental remediation. The goal of his research projects is to develop efficient nanocomposite catalytic systems using syntheses that build on the atomic level information obtained from our operando studies. Prof. Tao has published 66 papers in Science, Nano Letters, Langmuir, etc.
