Qiong CaiQiong Cai was trained in materials science and engineering at Tsinghua University and received her MEng degree in 2003. She went on to complete a PhD in 2007, at the University of Edinburgh (UK), with an overseas research scholarship from Universitie UK. Between 2007 and 2012 she was a research associate at Imperial College London where she led the Modelling and Simulation workpackage within a four-year EU FP7 funded project. She became a lecturer in Department of Chemical and Process Engineering at University of Surrey in 2012 and was promoted to senior lecturer and Director of Postgraduate Research in 2016. She has been researching actively at the interface of materials science and electrochemical engineering. Her current research focuses on multi-scale modeling and materials design for energy conversion and storage. She is the PI of three EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) funded projects on Na-ion batteries and polymer membrane fuel cells. She is also the Co-I of a newly funded £1.2 million project from EPSRC on Na-ion batteries, and the Co-I of a Surrey-NPL (National Physical Laboratory) PhD studentship on lithium air batteries. She is on the Scientific Board of the H2FC SUPERGEN Hub, the Scientific Board of the Energy Storage SUPERGEN Hub, and a member of the EPRSC peer review college. Read More Read Less
