Jeffrey C. S. Wu is professor of the Chemical Engineering Department, National Taiwan University. He received his PhD. degree in Chemical Engineering from University of Pittsburgh, USA. Professor Wu is a member of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers and Taiwan Institute of Engineers.
His research interest is photocatalysis include (a) photoreduction of CO2 to fuel, (b) photocatalytic water splitting for H2 and (c) photocatalytic oxidation of air pollutants. (d) Biomass conversion of biodiesel and bioethanol. He has received a number of awards including, Yang Bing Yan Chair Professor in 2018, Outstanding Engineering Professors Award, Chinese Institute of Engineers Taiwan in 2016; Outstanding Cross-Sector Collaboration Award, 2nd National Industrial Innovation in 2012; "Lai Tzai-Der award" of Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2009, "Chemical Technology Award" of Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2006, and "Silver medal of National Invention", Taiwan in 2004. He also serves as an Editor of the Catalysis Communications, a member of editorial boards of Applied Catalysis A: General, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of CO2 Utilization. His H-index is 41 with total citation 5228 (Thomson Reuters, Dec. 2019).
Professor Jeffrey C.S. Wu, has long-term research activity in the solar energy conversion, which includes solar H2 of water splitting, photocatalytic CO2 reduction, photo catalytic reduction of NOx, bio-diesel and bio-ethanol from biomass, and wastewater remediation by photo oxidation process. He is one of the leading expert in the field of photocatalysis in Asia. The main research of his lab is to develop innovative photo reactors for sunlight harvesting, including, twin photo reactor and optical-fiber illuminated honeycomb reactor. For the first time in world, the twin photo reactor can simultaneously separate H2 and O2 during a photocatalytic water splitting, which save the separation energy and prevent the potential explosion of H2/O2 mixture.
