Prof. Xing-Gui Zhou received his bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering in 1987 and PhD degree in 1996 from East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST). He stayed in University of Virginia as visiting student in 1995, and CPE Lyon in 2002 as visiting researcher. He joined the faculty of Chemical Engineering of ECUST in 1996 and since then he has been working in the State-Key Laboratory of Chemical Engineering (SKLoChE) at ECUST as a researcher. He became a full professor in 2002 and is currently the director of SKLoChE at ECUST.

　He is leading the catalysis and reaction engineering group in SKLoChE. His research interests include controlled synthesis of solid catalysts, kinetics and mechanism of heterogeneous catalysis, transport in porous catalysts and fixed bed reactors, and process intensification with microfluids. His research has been supported by the National Basic Research Program, the National High Technology Research and Development Program, and the Key Project of National Natural Science Foundation. He has coauthored over 320 papers in peer reviewed international journals, and over 150 papers in peer reviewed Chinese Journals. His research has been applied for the design of large scale fixed-bed reactors for commercial production of vinyl acetate and ethylene oxide.

　His doctoral dissertation was rated as National Excellent Doctoral Thesis. He won prizes from the Ministry of Education and SINOPEC for achievements in basic and applied research, and won several research projects for talents, including the Aurora Program of Shanghai, the New Century Program of Ministry of Education of China, and the Leadership Program of Shanghai.

　He is member of the editorial board of Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering, Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering and Journal of Chemical Engineering of Chinese Universities, and associate editor of Chemical Engineering Journal and Chemical Reaction Engineering and Technology. He is also member of the working party of Asian Pacific of Chemical Reaction Engineering (APCRE) and steering committee of Asian Crystallization Technology Symposium (ACTS). He has severed as chair of the 8th Asian Pacific Forum of Chemical Engineering (APCRE 2017) and chair of the 2021 International Conference on Mathematics in (bio)Chemical Kinetics and Engineering (MaCKiE 2021).
