Shaojun Xu
Shaojun did his Chemistry undergraduate studies in China Petroleum University, Quingdao,where he also studied for a Masters degree specialising in "Bifunctional catalysis for continuously large-scale operation of methane decomposition" He started her PhD at Manchester in September 2010 under the supervision of Dr Philip Martin and Prof Christopher Whitehead and supported by the EU ITN RAPID project. His project is concerened with understanding the mechanism of plasma-catalysis for dry reforming of methane with carbon dioxide using spectroscopic methods to probe the plasma.
