Yuqi is a DPhil student in Engineering Science from China whose work focuses on lithium-air batteries with X-ray tomography. Yuqi earned dual BSc degrees in Materials Science & Engineering from Northeastern University (China) and in Chemistry from Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier. As an undergraduate, Yuqi helped develop a modified diatomite catalyst that turns waste cooking oil into biofuel, a project that received a national Excellence Award. Yuqi later completed an MSc in Advanced Materials Science and Engineering at Imperial College London on aqueous zinc-ion 3D-printed micro-flexible batteries.  Prior to his DPhil at Oxford, he was a research assistant at the University of Science and Technology Beijing working on sodium-ion solid-state interfaces.  Outside the lab, he enjoys playing basketball and watching films.
