A Brief Introduction
The College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (CCCE) of Hunan Normal University, which was founded in 1938 and renamed in 1998, was grown out of the Physics and Chemistry Department of National Normal College. We have more than 1400 present students and 122 stuffs. Including 1 Academician of CAS; 2 New Century Talent of Ministry of Education; 2 distinguished Professors of “One Hundred Person Project” in Hunan Province; 1 Fu-Rong Professorship from the Hunan Provincial Government and 1 Fu-Rong Chair Professor; 2 “Xiaoxiang Scholar” Distinguished Professor. 2 foreign full-time teachers(Steven Robert Krik:stevenrkirk@gmail.com;Samantha Jenkins:samanthajsuman@gmail.com;The website of the research group:beaconresearch.org); 28 doctoral supervisors; 33 full professors, 32 associate professors and 65 Phd students.
Currently, CCCE has 5 majors for undergraduates: Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Technology, Pharmaceutical Engineering and Resource Recycling Science and Engineering
.
CCCE has center for Chemical post-doctoral studies (2007), the First level discipline of Chemistry doctor station (2010) while hosting Science and engineering of ecological industry (2010) and Curriculum and teaching theory in chemistry curriculum and teaching theory these two doctoral program. CCCE also comprise two First level discipline of master station, which are Chemistry (2006) and Chemical engineering & technology (2010), while hosting Pharmaceutical analysis, Curriculum and teaching theory these two master programs of Second level discipline. In addition, CCCE has two professional master's program, which are (1) Interdisciplinary teaching for chemistry and (2) Chemical engineering.
CCCE hosts three State characteristic chemical majors which are 1. Innovation experimental area of Chemical talent training for “Science and Engineering and Teaching Fusion”(2009)2. Teaching team of chemical experiment(2010) and 3. Model Center of Teaching Chemical Experiment(2013). In addition Provincial level awards include 1.teaching Team of Analytical Chemistry Courses,2. group of Hunan province natural science research and innovation for “High-throughput chemical plant monomer preparation research and development”, 3. science and Technology innovation “Chemical biology related technologies and applications” and “Functional Materials Development and Efficient use of Biomass” and two graduate students innovation bases.
“Modern synthetic and analytical chemistry” is the key discipline to national “211 Project”. (2002) Chemistry is the key discipline to Hunan “Twelfth Five-year Plan”. Organic chemistry, physical chemistry and applied chemistry are the school-level key disciplines.
CCCE has “New Petrochemical Materials and Fine Utilization of Resources” Local Joint National Engineering Laboratory(2012), “Chemical Biology and Traditional Chinese Medicine” Key Laboratory of Ministry of Education(2003), “Development and Utilization of the Monomer Plant” Hunan Provincial Key laboratory(2013), “Petrochemical Materials” Hunan Engineering laboratory(2010), Key Laboratory of Hunan ProvincialUniversities “Sustainable Resources Processing and Advanced Materials” (2008) ,Demonstration base of Hunan ProvincialUniversities Industry-University-Research Collaboration “Agro Fine Chemicals” .etc.
In recent years, the college teachers attained the Chinese national "863", "973" corpus; more than 60 National Natural Science fund projects were awarded and numerous research and education awardsfrom the State or Province, e.g. the Hunan Province Science and Technology Achievement (7 times), third prize (9 times). National teaching achievement (1 time), Provincial teaching achievement (7 times). More than 1000 SCI-indexed articles have been published in significant international journals e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Energ. Environ. Sci. and Adv. Funct. Mater..etc.
According to the latest date of Essential Science Indicators (ESI) published in March 14th 2017, our SCI publications attained 13.98 citations. CCCE ranked in the top 1% of universities and research institutions globally, indicates our strength of research is moving toward the world-class level.
