Recently, Professor LI Zhouhang from the Faculty of Metallurgical and Energy Engineering received a notification from the Humboldt Foundation of Germany. He will go to the University of Stuttgart of Germany to conduct cooperative research with Professor Bernhard Weigand who is an academician of the German National Academy of Engineering and an internationally renowned expert in multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer. This is the second time that a faculty member of KUST has been selected for the Humboldt Scholars Program in Germany after the first grant in 2008.

LI Zhouhang, graduated from the Department of Energy and Power Engineering of Tsinghua University, is now a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Faculty of Metallurgical and Energy Engineering of KUST. He is mainly engaged in research related to traditional andrenewable energy, industrial waste heat utilization in supercritical fluid and multi-phase flow energy mass transfer mechanism and technology. He hosted several national key R&D programs and national natural science foundation projects in China, independently and cooperatively published two monographs, and was invited four times to give keynote speeches at domestic and international conferences such as the Academic Conference on Heat and Mass Transfer of the Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics and the International Conference on Power Engineering, and served as the chairman of the branch three times. He is also a member of the Youth Work Committee of Chinese Society of Power Engineering, an expert of China Nonferrous Metals Think Tank, and an expert of Yunnan Science and Technology Talent Pool. He has won the Young Talent of "High-level Talents Introduction Program" in Yunnan Province, the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award in Tsinghua University, and the Outstanding Thesis Award in the Youth Academic Annual Meeting of Chinese Society of Power Engineering.

The Humboldt Foundation, founded in 1860, mainly provides financial support for outstanding young scientists and scholars worldwide and carries out international scientific cooperation. Up to now, the Humboldt Foundation has provided financial research support to about 28,000 scientists from more than 140 countries (including more than 2,000 Chinese scientists), among which more than 50 scientists have won Nobel Prizes. The Humboldt Scholars program enjoys a high reputation globally and is an internationally outstanding talent program with the same name as Marie Curie Actions in the European Union, Newton Advanced Fellowship in Britain and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
