Professor YU oversees the operation of the college. He is in charge of planning and development, major projects and finance.

Prof. Shu-Hong Yu, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chair professor of Southern University of Science and Technology, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Chinese Chemical Society and the Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China, and the Tencent New Cornerstone Researcher. His research interests include bio-inspired synthesis, assembly and functional application of inorganic materials. He created a synthesis method that combines "assembly and mineralization" at the mesoscopic scale, successfully mineralized and synthesized artificial nacre for the first time, and opened up a new way for the cross-scale controllable synthesis of inorganic functional materials. He invented a new production method for nanofiber-based bio-inspired structural materials, successfully developed a series of high-performance natural nanocellulose structural materials, and pioneered the research direction on the construction and functionalization of macroscale nanoassemblies based on multi-dimensional nanoscale building blocks. So far, he has published more than 680 academic papers in the field of inorganic chemistry (citations > 78,000, H index = 158, named as a Highly Cited Researcher by Thomson Reuters (2014-2022)). His awards include the 2nd Prize of National Natural Science Award awarded by Chinese Government (2010, 2016), the Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2021), the National Innovation Medal (2020), the 1st Prize of the Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education (2022), etc. He serves as the Editor-in-Chiefs of Mater. Chem. Front., The Innovation Materials, and is also on the editorial board or advisory board of journals including Advanced Materials, Nano Letters, Matter, Natl. Sci. Rev., and Materials Horizons.
