Biography:

Yixiao Wang is a research scientist at Idaho National Laboratory specializing in materials science and catalysis engineering, with postdoctoral experience in transient chemical kinetics. Since joining INL in 2018 she has been in charge of Advanced Manufacturing Office Next Generation R&D Projects involving NH3 and OCM. She has been active in the supervision of experiments on the Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP) reactors and catalyst characterization. She is a Ph.D. candidate in the Delft University of Technology’s chemical engineering department. She hold a bachelor’s from Beijing University of Chemistry and Technology and a master’s from Xiamen University. Her professional honors include the Young Scientist Award from the International Association of Catalysis Societies and the China National Scholarship. She was keynote speaker at both the 10th and 11th International Congress on Catalysis and Automotive Pollution Control, held in Brussels, Belgium, in October 2015 and 2018.
