Francis Verpoort (1963, Belgium) received his DPhil from Ghent University in 1996. In 1998, he became a full professor at the same university. In 2004, he founded a spin-off company of Ghent University based on (latent) ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts. In 2008, he became an Editor of Applied Organometallic Chemistry. Currently, as well as a Full Professor at Ghent University, he is a chair professor at the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Materials Synthesis and Processing (Wuhan University of Technology), and the Director of the Center for Chemical and Material Engineering (Wuhan University of Technology). Recently, he has been appointed as an ‘Expert of the State’ in the frame of the ‘Thousand Talents’ program, China. His main research interests concern the structure and mechanisms of organometallic material chemistry, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, MOFs and MOPs, water splitting, olefin metathesis and its applications, CO₂ conversion, inorganic and organic polymers.
