Yu Gao obtained his bachelor's degree in Energy Chemical Engineering from China University of Petroleum (Beijing), China, in 2018. At the meantime, he was recommended as a master student and supervised by Dr. Xiaochun Zhu in the same university. During the following 3 years, he focused on developing highly-efficient zeolite-based catalysts such as nanosized/hierarchical SSZ-13 zeolites for methanol-to-olefins reaction. In 2021, he obtained his master’s degree. He was then granted the funding from Chinese Scholarship Council and moved to Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands, to perform PhD study. He is currently supervised by Prof. Emiel Hensen and Dr. Nikolay Kosinov.
