Separations (ISSN: 2297-8739) is delighted to announce the winner of the Young Investigator Award, established to acknowledge the achievements of young investigators in the field of separation and purification science and technology. This year’s award has been granted to Dr. Jiahui Zhu.
Dr. Jiahui Zhu is an Associate professor at Harbin Engineering University. As an early career researcher focused on the design of functional adsorption materials and the separation and purification of uranyl ions, her academic work has consistently addressed fundamental challenges in separation science, namely efficiency, selectivity, and engineering application. In particular, Dr. Zhu’s core research is dedicated to tackling the highly challenging separation problem of efficient and selective uranium extraction from seawater.
As the awardee, Dr. Zhu will receive CHF 2000, an electronic certificate, and a voucher to waive the Article Processing Charges (APCs) for one submission in Separations (subject to peer review), which is valid for one year.
Given the large number of high-quality applicants, the evaluation process and final decision were particularly challenging. We sincerely thank all the nominators for their participation and the Award Committee Members for their careful evaluation of the many outstanding candidates.
On behalf of the Editorial Office, we warmly congratulate Dr. Jiahui Zhu and wish her continued success in her research career.
