Prof. Xinliang Feng, Director at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle, is elected a full member of the Chemistry Division of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
Prof. Xinliang Feng, Director at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle Halle and Professor at the Technical University of Dresden, has been elected as an ordinary member of the Chemistry Division of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. Xinliang Feng was elected as a new member by the Division and the Presidium of the Leopoldina in a multi-stage process. Feng's future tasks will include providing scientific policy advice and contributing to politically and socially relevant issues.
“It is an immense honor to have been elected as a member of a distinguished academy such as Leopoldina. I am humbled to be included among the ranks of so many esteemed figures from scientific history. This membership opens up wonderful opportunities for collaboration with my esteemed colleagues in the academy, and I am eager to contribute to the advancement of science alongside them in the future.“, said the newly appointed member.
Feng's research focuses on exploring precision chemistry and synthesis to discover new materials, including organic 2D crystals, carbon nanostructures, and graphene nanoribbons with emergent phenomena and properties to address global challenges.
New materials play a key role in addressing society's challenges and providing new opportunities. For instance, clean energy, clear water, environmental protection, and sustainable development require breakthrough discovery and application of exotic materials. In addition, new materials provide unique opportunities for emerging information technology, and artificial intelligence, among others.
About Prof. Xinliang Feng:
Prof. Xinliang Feng is a chemist and professor at the Technical University of Dresden specializing in 2D materials and functional devices, especially graphene. Since 2014, as part of the Cluster of Excellence Centre for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) he has been Professor of Molecular Functional Materials. Since 2021 he has been a Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society and Director of the Department of Synthetic Materials and Functional Devices (SMFD) at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle. He is one of the most cited researchers in chemistry and materials science, Clarivate Analytics. Feng has received many awards and has published more than 700 research articles, which attracted more than 109,000 citations and an H-index of 164 (Google Scholar).
About the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina:
The Leopoldina originated in 1652 as a classical scholarly society and now has 1,600 members from almost all branches of science. In 2008, Leopoldina was appointed as the German National Academy of Sciences and, in this capacity, was invested with two major objectives: representing the German scientific community internationally, and providing policymakers and the public with science-based advice. The Leopoldina champions the freedom and appreciation of science. It promotes a scientifically enlightened society and the responsible application of scientific insight for the benefit of humankind and the natural world. In its interdisciplinary discourse, the Academy transcends thematic, political, and cultural boundaries.
