Professor Song Chunshan Appointed Dean of Science

Professor Song Chunshan joins our Faculty as Dean of Science on 15 July 2020.

Professor Song was a Distinguished Professor of Fuel Science, Professor of Chemical Engineering and Director of the EMS Energy Institute at the Pennsylvania State University, University Park in the USA before joining CUHK. His original and innovative research contributions to catalysis, adsorption, CO2 capture and conversion, and energy and clean fuels research have been widely recognised by many awards and honours such as George A. Olah Award and Henry H. Storch Award from American Chemical Society (ACS), and Distinguished Fulbright Scholar from the US-UK Fulbright Commission.

“I am delighted to be joining CUHK Faculty of Science, where we have such outstanding colleagues and students. I am eager to begin advancing our teaching and research to a higher level with the support and collaborative efforts of all Faculty members, and serving society through science,” said Professor Song.

Let’s extend our warmest welcome to Professor Song! We also take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to Professor Xie Zuowei, the Interim Dean and Professor Henry Wong, the outgoing Dean, for their long-standing commitment to the Faculty and devotion in promoting science education.
