In Jan. 2006, he got back Jilin University as an associate professor, and was promoted to full professor in 2008. His research focuses on crystallization mechanism of microporous crystals; morphology and polymorphs control synthesis of zeolites; developing new synthesis strategy, route, and method for the facial synthesis of high value zeolites; and applications of zeolites on separation, catalysis, and ion-exchange. He has co-authored over 200 papers published in Science, Natl. Sci. Rev., Nat. Commun., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., and J. Am. Chem. Soc., etc. He won the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars in 2012. He has been the secretary general of Chinese Zeolite Association since 2008. See less
