FAN Honggang, male, born in 1993, Ph.D., Associate Professor. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021, and continued his postdoctoral research at the institute, during which he was supported by the Special Research Assistant Fellowship Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2024 and became a master's supervisor in 2025. His research focuses on the pyrolysis reaction mechanisms and kinetic modeling of combustible solid wastes such as biomass and plastics, as well as the thermal treatment and recycling of retired new energy devices and components. He is currently leading several research projects, including two sub-projects under the National Key R&D Program of China, a Young Scientists Fund project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and a Youth Talent Project under the Key Deployment Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
