Personal statement (limited to 600 words, focusing on intellectual and moral qualities, professional skills, work experience, and achievements).
  Li Hua, Research Fellow and PhD Supervisor at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.   Li Hua graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Tianjin University, and obtained a PhD from Kyushu University in Japan. After completing the PhD, he joined Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan, where he became a project leader involved in the research and development of the world’s earliest mass-produced fuel cell vehicles (MIRAI series). He held multiple research and development positions and was the only Chinese national serving as a formal researcher in Toyota’s hydrogen fuel cell field, controlling a significant portion of global patents in this domain. He returned to China in 2021.   His expertise lies in fuel cell bipolar plate design, fuel cell/stack sealing design and mechanism research, and related fields. He has a solid theoretical foundation and practical engineering experience, particularly in the field of automotive fuel cell stack production. His research achievements are extensive.   Representative technologies in fuel cells include: megawatt-scale system design, stack design and assembly processes, large-scale hydrothermal management calculations at the stack level, AI-based single-cell battery design and sealing processes, bipolar plate design and surface treatment processes, membrane-electrode structure design and mass production processes, and catalyst platinum loading processes.   Representative technologies in water electrolysis include: high-temperature and high-pressure water electrolysis structure and sealing processes, water electrolysis membrane-electrode structure and processing technologies.   His representative products include the MIRAI 2 fuel cell vehicle, 2.5 kW fuel cell unmanned aerial vehicle, and 200 km range long-endurance fuel cell assist vehicle.   To date, Li Hua has published 16 SCI-indexed papers in prestigious international journals such as Journal of Power Sources, Energy Conversion and Management, Electrochimica Acta, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, etc. He has been granted/has applied for 4 patents, including 1 international patent. He has also contributed to 1 monograph, «Hydrogen Energy Engineering — A Japanese Respective,» published globally by the renowned publishing group Springer. This book has garnered significant attention, with downloads exceeding 66,000 copies to date.
