Professor Jianlin Shi received his Bachelor degree from Nanjing University of Technology in 1983, and obtained his Ph.D degree in 1989 in Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He had been working on the processing science of advanced ceramics, sintering theory of advanced ceramics, inorganic nanostructured materials, and transparent ceramics from 1983 till 2005. Since 1998 till now, his recent research interest mainly include: synthesis of mesoporous materials and host-guest mesoporous nanocomposites; hierarchically micro-/mesoporous zeolite for large molecule- involved catalytic applications; mesoporous silica nanoparticles and related nanostructured nanocomposites for biomedical applications; Upconversion nanoparticles and related nanostructures for biomedical applications. Most recently, a novel research frontier of “nanocatalytic medicine” has been established in which non-toxic nanoparticles rather than conventional highly toxic chemodrugs were used to initiate intratumoral in-situ catalytic chemical reaction for antitumor purpose. More than 500 papers have been published, and the publications were cited by others for more than 33,000 times with an H-index of 108. He has been presented as highly cited researcher in 2015-2017 by Thomson Reuters. As the project leader and first awardee, he has been awarded, the National Nature Science Award (second class, 2011), Municipal Nature Science Award of Shanghai (first class, 2008 and 2014), and Municipal Scientific and Technological Progress Award (first class, 2009).
