Pollution (VOCs, acid gases and green house gases) control, nano porous materials, green catalysis, absorption/separation, hazardous material treatment, and environmental engineering

He received his PhD degree from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academic Sciences (CAS) in 1996.

In 1999 Dr. Hao joined the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Science(RCEES, CAS), as an associate professor. In the period of 2000-2001, he worked as a visiting scientist in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Queensland, Australia. He was promoted to full professor of RCEES, CAS in 2002. In 2018 he joined University of Chinese Academy Sciences (UCAS)  as the director of Research Center for Environmental Material & Pollution Control Technology UCAS and the director of National Engineering Laboratory for VOCs Pollution Control Material& Technology, China.

His research is funded by the NSFC, MOST, SOE of China, CAS, GM, SIDA and industrials. He has authored over 300 international journal publications and issued 50 patents for nano materials and air pollution control technologies. He did lots of research and development on functional materials, catalysts, environmental engineering and pollution control technologies. Some materials and control technologies for VOCs, H₂S(SOx) and N₂O(NOx) pollution have been validated, scaled and commercialized up. Dr. Hao has graduated 39 Ph.D students in Environmental Science & Engineering, and 14 students have received their M. Sc degrees under his mentorship.

The scientific contributions of Dr Hao have allowed him to receive some honors throughout his professional career. He got  the first prize of environmental protection technology progress in 2020, the distinguished young scholar award of National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2007 and UniSA Distinguished Researcher Award of 2010. His research work has been repeatedly cited and highlighted by many important journals. He services the industrial and scientific community, include serving as editor board of 5 academic journals and referee for more than 20 international academic journals. He attended lots of professional activities and served for international organization, government council and industrial consultancy in past twenty years.
