Emerging Natural and Tailored Nanomaterials for Radioactive Waste Treatment and Environmental Remediation

Changlun Chen is associate Professor in the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei, China. He received his PhD (2008) from Hefei Institutes of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2008-2010, he worked in Shizuoka University Japan, and then returned to the institute. Presently, he centers on nano-material preparation and functionalization, the application of nanostructured materials and nanotechnology for environment pollution treatment. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed journal publications.
