Dr. SHEN Lisha is an Assistant Professor at the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She received his Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from Sun Yat-sen University in 2017. Her research focuses on electrochemical water splitting for green hydrogen production, with particular interests in the design of advanced electrocatalysts for PEM and AEM electrolyzers, as well as the multi-physics transport mechanisms under high-current-density operations. Dr. Lisha Shen has led a municipal-level project on 3D metal phosphide/MOF heterostructures for hydrogen evolution and has participated in multiple national and international research initiatives, including NSFC projects, CAS international cooperation programs, and provincial key research funds on low-cost and high-efficiency water electrolysis. She has authored 33 SCI publications and filed 11 patents in the field of hydrogen production and electrochemical energy conversion.
