Dr Lei Xing PhD

• PhD in Chemical, Process and Energy Engineering, Newcastle University, UK, 2013

• MEng in Chemical Engineering, Taiyuan University of Technology, China, 2008.
• BEng in Chemical Engineering and Technology, Inner Mongolia University of Technology, 2005.

Lei qualified with a BEng degree in Chemical Engineering from the Inner Mongolia University of Technology, China in 2005. Following on his undergraduate degree Lei studied at Taiyuan University of Technology, China, and got a MEng degree in Chemical Engineering in 2008.

He went back to the Inner Mongolia University of Technology as a lecturer for two years from 2008 to 2010. After that he came to the UK as a PhD candidate and he was awarded a PhD degree in Chemical, Process and Energy from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2014.

Lei joined the University of Birmingham as a research fellow in 2014.

Lei’s current research mainly focuses on the particle technology including the coating of the particles using suitable materials of improving their flowability and stability and the controlled release.

The research activities during his PhD study was to investigate the multi-physics and multi-phase flow process occurred in fuel cell operation and to optimise the electrode parameters and flow filed geometries to mitigate the liquid water flooding.
