Fanrang graduated from China Central South University in 2013 with a BEng (Hons) in Materials Science and Engineering. He completed my PhD in Materials Engineering and Materials Design at the University of Nottingham in 2017. After this, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Sustainable Materials and Energy Technologies at the University of Nottingham and then a Research Associate in Resource Efficiency and Sustainability Fellow at the University of Cambridge. In 2023, he joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor). His research focuses on resource efficiency and engineering sustainability driving reductions in environmental impacts and the development of sustainable engineering practices. His research applies and develops whole systems approaches (process simulation, material flow analysis, life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis with optimisation algorithm) to complex engineering systems to better understand the transition towards a low carbon economy. He has published ~30 research papers in top journals in sustainable engineering such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Nature Climate Change, Environmental Science & Technology, and Resources Conservation and Recycling.
