Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Director of the Hydrogen Science Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Director of the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Hydrogen Science, President of the Shanghai Hydrogen Science and Technology Research Association, and Director of the National Engineering Research Center for Light Alloy Precision Forming. An internationally renowned expert in magnesium hydride materials, adhering to the research philosophy of "excellence in materials, materials to be processed, processed materials to be made into devices, and devices to be practical," he has successively developed the world's best-performing and lightest magnesium-rare earth alloys. Five of these alloys are included in national standards, and two have entered international standards, achieving a breakthrough in the application of magnesium alloy main load-bearing structural components and playing an irreplaceable role in the development of China's new generation of "great national instruments." "Maximize the potential of materials and proceed smoothly," Academician Wenjiang Ding fully utilizes the active "disadvantages" and excellent biocompatibility "advantages" of magnesium, ushering in a new era of degradable magnesium human implant devices. He was the first to break through the mass production technology of magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage materials internationally, and has made breakthroughs in application technologies in the fields of energy, medicine, agriculture, metallurgy, and chemical industry, allowing magnesium hydride materials to shine in aerospace, energy, medical, agricultural, and other fields, enabling China to occupy the international discourse power in magnesium hydride materials. He has trained more than 300 outstanding graduate students who have gone on to the frontline of national construction.

Tao Deng is the “Zhi Yuan” Chair Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China. He currently serves as the Associate Editor for Chemical Reviews. He obtained his B.S. in 1996 from University of Science and Technology of China and Ph.D in 2001 from Harvard University, both in Materials Chemistry. After his postdoctoral research at MIT, he joined General Electric (GE)’s Global Research Center at Niskayuna, New York in 2003. In the summer of 2012, he moved back to academic research and joined School of Materials Science and Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His current research focuses on energy materials and systems, especially thermal energy related materials and systems, including materials and systems for thermal energy generation, conversion, storage, and detection. He served as the Conference Co-Chair for the US MRS Fall Meeting at Boston, Massachusetts (2017) and as the Conference Executive Chair for the 2014 International Conference of Young Researchers on Advanced Materials (International Union of Materials Research Societies). He is currently the board member of Chinese MRS, and also the Chair of the Commission on Development of the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS).

He is tenure professor at School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He was also visiting professor of The University of Tokyo and has also ever served as a research fellow at Kyushu National Industrial Research Institute, Japan. He is currently the academic committee member of China Catalysis Society, the Member of Editorial Board for Journal of Environmental Science. He also serves as a Guest Professor of Kyushu University, Japan.
