Congratulations to four Water Institute members who have been named on the annual Highly Cited Researchers™ 2023 list from Clarivate.
Highly Cited Researchers™ are influential researchers at universities, research institutes and commercial organizations around the world who have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their field(s) of research.
The evaluation and selection process draws on data from the Web of Science™ citation index, together with analysis performed by bibliometric experts and data scientists at the ISI at Clarivate™.
Of the world’s population of scientists and social scientists, Highly Cited Researchers™ are 1 in 1,000.
Congratulations to:
Zhongwei Chen
Dr. Zhongwei Chen is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, professor in advanced materials for clean energy at the University of Waterloo; Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, director of Waterloo Center for Electrochemical Energy, associate editor of ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, and vice-president of International Academy of Electrochemical Energy Science (IAOEES).
Juewen Liu
Dr. Liu's research group applies the fundamental principles of chemistry, physics and biology to produce nanoscale materials, devices and systems to understand basic sciences, advance technology, and impact medicine. In particular, they are interested in using DNA and lipids as functional polymers and building blocks to interface with metal nanoparticles, nanoclusters, carbon-based materials and hydrogels.
Daniel Scott
Dr. Daniel Scott has worked extensively on sustainable tourism for 25 years, with a focus on the transition to a low carbon tourism economy and adaptation to the complex impacts of a changing climate. He has advised and led projects for a wide range of government agencies and tourism organizations around the world, including the United Nations World Tourism Organization, United Nations Environment Programme, World Bank, European Tourism Commission.
Aiping Yu
Dr. Yu is primarily interested in materials development for energy storage and conversion, photocatylsts, and nano composites. She is an expert in carbon nanotubes and graphene, allowing her to design the proper porosity and polarity of nanomaterials for high energy storage supercapacitors and ultra-strong nanocomposites. Her previous work in the plastics and carbon solutions industries has led her to dedicate her research toward developing nanomaterials for practical applications.
