My research focuses on development of clean utilization routes for silicate-based resources, e.g., slag, fly ash, red mud, C&D waste, etc. The target products include inorganic fibers, ceramic foams, and glass-ceramics. The work highlights the green chemistry principles and multi-objective coupled control. My interests are (i) environmental-friendly materials processing; (ii) physical chemistry of high-temperature materials; (iii) structure-thermodynamics-property relationship of silicate melt.
