Brief introduction of speaker：

Dr. Yongfeng Hu received B.Sc. in Chemistry from Shandong University in 1988, and Ph.D in Chemistry from University of Western Ontario in 1996. After postdoctoral appointments at the University of Western Ontario and Princeton University, he went to University of Wisconsin-Madison, as a beamline manager at the Canadian Synchrotron Radiation Facility in 1999. Since 2003, he has been at the Canadian Light Source as a staff scientist. Dr. Hu’s area of expertise is synchrotron radiation instrumentation and applications. He has built and commissioned three beamlines (soft and hard X-rays) at synchrotron facilities in US and Canada; designed and built many endstations (photoelectron and photoabsorption) for applications of synchrotron based technique. Currently, he is pushing for “real”, in-situ measurements of environmental and catalytic samples at the CLS. He is the author or co-author of around 100 peer-reviewed papers published in areas of atomic and molecular chemistry and physics, material and environmental science, and synchrotron instrumentation.
