The University is proud to welcome Global Chair Professor Chuyang Tang to the University of Bath for his first visit from 19th to 23rd June 2023. A world-leading expert in environmental and chemical engineering from the University of Hong Kong, Professor Tang is being hosted by Dr Ming Xie and Professor John Chew from the Department of Chemical Engineering.
Professor Tang’s highly regarded achievements not only led to the patenting of fifteen inventions including the Aquaporin Inside Membranes, commercialised by Aquaporin Asia Singapore, but also developed award-winning nano-functionalized reusable face masks with novel air filters to combat COVID-19.
