Prof Z. F. Cui (Chinese name: Cui Zhanfeng), born in 1962 in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, is a professor of chemical engineering in the Engineering Department of Oxford University, a distinguished guest professor in the Bioengineering and Technology Center of China University of Petroleum, and an overseas reviewer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1978, he studied at the Department of Chemical Engineering of Inner Mongolia University of Technology and later pursued a master's degree in Chemical Engineering at Dalian Institute of Technology; Obtained a master's degree in 1984; Obtained a doctoral degree in 1987; In 1988, he received funding from the British Council to conduct postdoctoral research at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland; I started teaching at the University of Edinburgh in March 1991 and joined the Faculty of Engineering at Oxford University in October 1994. In October 2000, he was officially appointed as a professor of chemical engineering at Oxford University, a renowned university in the UK. He became the first Chinese professor in the history of the university and one of the youngest professors at the time. Engaged in research on drug separation in biopharmaceutical processes using polymer membranes or ceramic membranes, and introduced gas jet technology into ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and nanofiltration processes. After the promotion of this technology, Oxford University has achieved world-renowned results in this field. Engaged in the separation, purification, and biological activity research of marine biological medicinal materials; Development and application of porous membrane technology and processes; Simulating the survival status, interface behavior, and oil displacement mechanism of oil displacement microorganisms in oil reservoirs using membrane reactors; The application and development of membrane separation in oil fields and environmental protection. Has won honors such as the Royal Academy of Engineering Foresight Award and the Royal Academy of Engineering Young Teacher Award for all British universities (this award is only available 10 times a year in the UK). Obtained nearly 30 important research projects from BBSRC and EPSRC in the UK, and published an average of 6-7 papers annually in top international academic journals. In the past five years, we have received a research fund of £ 3 million, obtained 2 patents, and published over 100 papers. The current focus is on the application of membrane technology in water and wastewater treatment processes. Member of the European Membrane Association, member of the North American Membrane Association, legal representative of the British Society of Chemical Engineers, legal representative of the British Society for Bioengineering, and judge of the British Physical and Engineering Research Foundation.
