    Resume:
    Dr. Tianzhong Liu, born in 1966, Professor, group leader of Microalgae Biofuel, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).He is also the associated director of the Key laboratory of Biofuel, CAS. Dr. Liu obtained his Ph. D in the National Key Laboratory of Biochemical Engineering in Institute of Process Engineering, CAS in 1998, and worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in the school of Chemical Engineering, the University of Birmingham from 2000 to 2003. Then he worked as the college of Food Science and Engineering at Ocean University of China. In 2008 Dr. Liu joined Qibebt-CAS to lead microalgae biofuel research. His main research interest is microalgae biotechnology and its engineering applications in biofuel, food, and environmental bioremediation. In recent years, he has undertaken more than 20 projects from national, local government and companies such as Boeing, China Enn, China Kingho. Dr. Liu has published more than 40 papers on prestigious journals such as Bioresearch Technology, Biomass and Bioenergy, Journal of Phycology. He also holds more than 12 national patents.
