Feng received his B.Sc in Physics and Engineering from Qufu Normal University and his M.Sc. degree in Electronics Science and Technology from Jiliang University in 2017. He joined the group in 2018 to pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry and nanotechnology, and his current research focuses on elucidating factors affecting stability and activity of structurally-complex nanocatalysts for energy and sustainability applications. He uses DFT, MD and multiphysics computational approaches to develop systematic mechanistic understanding of nanoscale phenomena.
