Early academic pursuits
Daofei lv began his academic journey at the south china university of technology, where he earned his bachelor of science in chemical engineering in 2015. he then enrolled in a rigorous 2+3 ph.d. program at the same university, completing his doctorate in chemical engineering in 2020. during these formative years, he laid the groundwork for his future research in adsorption separation and metal-organic frameworks (mofs), developing a strong analytical foundation that would serve as the bedrock for his contributions to materials science and power electronics integration in separation technologies.
Professional endeavors
Currently serving as the vice dean of the school of environment and chemical engineering at foshan university, daofei lv also holds the title of associate professor. his leadership role combines administrative responsibilities with academic mentorship, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. his teaching philosophy emphasizes real-world application, and he has worked to integrate fields like power electronics, sustainable energy systems, and advanced materials into the curriculum, preparing students for both academic and industrial paths.
Contributions and research focus
Professor lv’s primary research interests center on the design, synthesis, and mechanism analysis of novel metal-organic frameworks (mofs) for gas separation and environmental applications. he has led seven competitive research projects, including two funded by the national natural science foundation. his completed projects include the study of μ2-o atoms enhancing ch4/n2 selectivity and alkyl-chain-functionalized mofs for propane separation. his ongoing investigations explore non-aromatic ring mofs for propane/propylene adsorption, ethane-preferred systems, and bio-derived cosmetic ingredients. this integration of materials chemistry with practical product development illustrates his broader vision—bridging high-performance chemical materials with functional outcomes, often intersecting with the design of power electronics interfaces for real-time adsorption monitoring systems.
