Dr. Jiangshui Luo is a Professor at College of Materials Science & Engineering, Sichuan University in Chengdu, China. He received his bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degrees from Xiamen University, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (Chinese Academy of Sciences), and KU Leuven, respectively. His research interests include organic salts (e.g. ionic liquids, organic ionic plastic crystals, ionic liquid crystals and ordered crystalline organic salts), proton-conductive deep eutectic solvents, electrolytes, phase change materials, heat transfer fluids and solid-state refrigeration. He is an editorial board member of Journal of Ionic Liquids, a member of the Fuel Cell Engine Branch of the 9th Council of the Chinese Society for Internal Combustion Engines, a member of the Ionic Liquids Professional Committee of the Chinese Chemical Society, and a member of the Hydrogen Energy Professional Committee of the China Renewable Energy Society. He has been honored as “Distinguished Expert” by Sichuan province. He received a series of awards or honor including 2012 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Student Abroad, FWO Postdoctoral Fellowship, and scientific and technological innovation talent of Sichuan province.
