Prof. Dr. Guo-Hua HU was born on May 12th, 1964. He obtained his bachelor degree in polymer chemical engineering from the East China University of Science and Technology (Shanghai, China) at the age of 21, and his master and PhD degrees in polymer engineering and science from the University of Strasbourg (Strasbourg, France) at the age of 23 and 26, respectively. After working at the University of Pittsburgh as a research associate, he was appointed researcher of the CNRS (France) at the age of 28, full professor at the University of Lorraine (Nancy, France) at the age of 34 and was elected member of the Institut Universitaire de France (Paris, France) at the age of 40.

Prof. Dr. HU has been active in polymer process engineering, especially reactive extrusion, reactive polymer blending and compounding, polymer reaction engineering, nanocomposites, bio-based polymers, carbon materials, recycling, supercritical fluid-assisted polymer processing processes such as foaming, modeling and optimization. He is (co-)author of more than 200 peer reviewed journal articles, 1 book and 10 book chapters. He is (co-)inventor of 6 international patents.

Prof. Dr. HU was the recipient of the Bronze medal of the CNRS in 1996, the Morand Lambla award of the Polymer Processing Society in 2001. He was distinguished Piercy visiting professor of the University of Minnesota in 2005, Guangbiao chair professor of Zhejiang University from 2005 to 2013, and Qianren professor of the University of Science and Technology Beijing from 2009 to 2014.
