Changgen FENG
Profile:
Elected Academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences in 2018, Professor Changgen Feng is a distinguished Chinese safety scientist and materials chemist whose research has contributed to safety science and engineering, energetic materials, and pyrotechnic and propellant technology. Born in February 1953, he received his Ph.D. from the School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, and is a Fellow of the UK Engineering and Technology Institute. His academic and professional career has included senior leadership positions such as Vice President of Beijing Institute of Technology, Member of the Secretariat and Vice Chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), and Member of the Standing Committee of the Eleventh and Twelfth National People’s Congress. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Safety and Environment and Defence Technology. His contributions to science, technology, and professional service have been recognised through the First China Youth Science and Technology Award, the National May 1st Labour Medal, the National Outstanding Worker Award, and the National Outstanding Scientific and Technological Worker Award, among other distinctions.

Professor Feng’s research has focused on safety science and engineering, pyrotechnic and propellant technology, and the application of advanced materials, with particular emphasis on the chemistry of energetic materials, combustion mechanisms, and industrial safety systems. Through leadership of major national research programmes, including projects under the National 973 Programme, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and National Science and Technology Tackling Key Problems programmes, he has contributed to the development of theoretical approaches and engineering methodologies in safety science and energetic-materials research. His work has encompassed the fundamental chemistry and combustion behaviour of energetic materials as well as the application of safety principles to complex industrial systems. He has authored more than 600 peer-reviewed publications in Chinese and international journals and has supervised and trained researchers and engineers in safety engineering and defence-related technologies. As Co-Convenor of the Safety Science and Engineering Discipline Review Group of the Seventh Session of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee, he contributed to the development of academic and professional standards for the discipline. Through sustained research leadership, scientific administration, and international academic collaboration, Professor Feng has contributed to connecting fundamental materials chemistry and energetic-materials science with practical applications in industrial safety, engineering risk management, and defence technology.
