According to the result released by National Natural Science Foundation of China of 2016, the team of Eco-materials and Preparation Engineering led by Nie Zuoren, the Vice President and Professor of College of Materials Science & Engineering has been granted sponsorship.
Among 38 teams granted by National Natural Science Foundation of China, BJUT is the only local university, while the other 37 teams all come from universities under the direct administration of Ministry of Education or research institutes. This is second time for BJUT to receive approval as an innovative research group, standing out among local universities.
Supported by National Natural Science Foundation in previous projects, Professor Nie Zuoren led the team to study on the project Eco-materials and Preparation Engineering of healthy environment. In recent years, his team has made a breakthrough in metal powder metallurgy and recycling materials technology, with team members constituting the core team in eco-materials research.
