Luming Peng received his B.S. in chemistry from Nanjing University in 2001. He obtained his Ph.D. from State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2006, working under the guidance of Professor Clare P. Grey on the structure and properties of acidic catalysts. He did postdoctoral studies on the structure of glassy materials with Professor Jonathan F. Stebbins at Stanford University during 2006–2008. He became an associate professor in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Nanjing University in August 2008 and has been promoted to a full professor in 2014. His research interests lie in applying various state-of-the-art solid-state NMR techniques to solve tough problems in materials chemistry. He is currently working on developing new characterization methods for functional materials including oxide nanomaterials and layered double hydroxides. He has published more than 100 research papers on international journals, including Nat. Mater., Sci. Adv. and Nat. Commun.. He has been supported with National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars of China (2012). He is a Royal Society Newton Advanced Fellow and an editoral board member of Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance and Magentic Resonance Letters. He received Wang Tianjuan Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Award (Chinese Physical Society) in 2021. Find more information at group webpage at:
