Zhang Hui
Please share a brief biography.
Dr. Zhang Hui is an associate professor in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Zhejiang University, China. He received a Ph.D. in food science from Zhejiang University in 2009 and finished his postdoc work supported by DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) at University of Hohenheim, Germany, from October 2010 to August 2012. He was a visiting scholar supported by the CSC (China Scholarship Council) at the University of California Davis, USA, from August 2014 to August 2015. His current research focuses on (1) novel microencapsulation techniques (microemulsions, nanoemulsions, nanofibers, etc.) to deliver and release hydrophobic functional bioactives and (2) physical processing and control of food structures and textures (emulsions, gels, fibers, etc). He has led projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Ministry of Science and Technology of China, and Natural Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province, etc. He has published over 60 peer-reviewed scientific papers and held over 10 patents. He is currently an associate editor for Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture.
Why did you decide to volunteer as a member of the committee?
I have attended AOCS meetings in the USA and China many times, which provided me with the opportunities to catch the latest research development and to network with many researchers. Thus, I realize the importance of connecting more Chinese scientists with AOCS.
What do you hope to accomplish in your role?
I hope to introduce more and more young Chinese scientists to AOCS and expand the influence of AOCS in China.

Prof. Zheng Mingming is a doctoral supervisor at the Oil Crops Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. His interests are in the molecular modification, structure-activity relationship and product innovation of food lipids. In order to tackle industrial problems — such as the low conversion rate of the lipase modification method, poor stability and activity of enzymes, single structure and function of lipids — his research mainly focuses on the construction of high-activity enzyme microarray, continuous flow enzyme reaction system, and the design of novel molecules. These theories and technologies have been successfully applied to the production of food lipids such as phytosterol esters, phenolic acids esters, OPO structural lipids, etc. He has published more than 60 SCI papers in authoritative journals, such as ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, including 28 as the first and corresponding author. He has more than 1,100 cumulative other citations. He holds four National Nature Science Foundation, 10 authorized patents and 1 United States patent. He has won the Second Prize of National Science and Technology Progress, three First Class Provincial Prizes, and the first session of Youth Innovation Award of the Oil Crop Professional Committee. He has been selected as a “Ten thousand plan” - National High Level Talent, Outstanding Young Agricultural Scientists and the Youth Talent Development Plan of Hubei Province.
Why did you decide to volunteer as a member of the committee?
AOCS is a famous academic organization which advances the science and technology of oils, fats, proteins, surfactants and related materials, enriching the lives of people everywhere. In order to enhance communication and cooperation with more and more famous scientists in AOCS, I decided to volunteer as a member of the committee.
What do you hope to accomplish in your role?
After joining the committee, I will try my best to enhance the communication and cooperation of Chinese scientists with American scientists in the field of lipid science and technology.
Tell us a little bit about yourself (e.g., What are your hobbies? What does a typical day look like for you?).
I like reading, fitness, swimming and singing during my spare time. I read literature, design experiments, and write papers in the morning and instruct graduate students to do experiments in the afternoon. I also do some experiments in the pilot plant with my assistants.

Dr. Zhou Dayong graduated from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2008 and has a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry. He is a professor and doctoral supervisor in the School of Food Science and Technology, National Engineering Research Center of Seafood, Dalian Polytechnic University.
He has been recognized for his academic achievements by receiving the Special Government Allowance of the State Council, National Hundred, Thousand and Ten Thousand Talent, National Outstanding Mid-aged Experts, Chief Scientist of the National Key R&D Program in the 13th Five-Year Plan, and National Excellent Teacher. He has presided over National Key R&D Program in the 13th Five-Year Plan and Joint Funds of National Natural Science Foundation of China, etc. He gained two Second Prize for National Science and Technology Progress Awards (rank first and fifth), one Second Prize for National Teaching Achievements, and three First Prize for Liaoning Science and Technology Progress Award (rank first, second and fifth). He has published 62 SCI articles (as the first or corresponding author). Meanwhile, he is the author of two PCT patents and 20 Chinese patents.
His research areas interests include marine functional lipids and lipid oxidation and its control. He is one of the Editorial Board Members of Food Chemistry.
Why did you decide to volunteer as a member of the committee?
AOCS gives me the chance to get and exchange current and emerging information and research results in oils, fats, lipids and related materials through its meetings, publications and web presence. Therefore, I would like to offer my help to promote the development of AOCS to help more and more researchers in this area benefit from AOCS.
What do you hope to accomplish in your role?
I hope to contribute as author, reviewer and editor for AOCS publications and as co-volunteer, speaker and host for AOCS meetings.
Tell us a little bit about yourself (e.g., What are your hobbies? What does a typical day look like for you?).
In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family. Normally, I work by day and spend time with my family at night.
Yu Xiuzhu
Please share a brief biography.
Prof. Yu Xiuzhu was born and educated in China where he earned a bachelor’s degree at Henan University of Technology (1999) before emigrating to Northwest A&F University in 2001, where he received a master’s degree (2004) and a doctorate (2008). After completing his doctoral research, he worked at the College of Food Science and Engineering, Northwest A&F University, where he was promoted to Associate Professor (2010) and Full professor (2017). He was named Vice Dean of College of Food Science and Engineering in 2019. He is a fellow of the Chinese Cereals and Oil Association. Furthermore, he has been a visiting scholar at McGill University in Montreal, Canada (2006–2007), and Iowa State University (2014–2015).
Since 2002, he has worked in fats and oils analysis research and a teaching program, supervising many master (33) and Ph.D. (3) students. In recent years, he has hosted and participated in more than 10 scientific research projects. He has produced more than 150 peer-reviewed publications, compiled eight textbooks in Chinese and one monograph in English.
Why did you decide to volunteer as a member of the committee?
I can serve scientists who are working on fats and oils in China and help them to get information from AOCS.
What do you hope to accomplish in your role?
I can enlarge the influence of AOCS in China and let more Chinese scientists know AOCS, especially young students.
Tell us a little bit about yourself (e.g., What are your hobbies? What does a typical day look like for you?).
My hobby is reading and some sports. My typical day is teaching, working in the lab and supervising students.
