O autorze

Wey Yang Teoh obtained his BE and PhD in Chemical Engineering at The University of New South Wales (Australia). He spent an attachment at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) as part of his PhD studies. In 2010, he joined the School of Energy and Environment at the City University of Hong Kong as tenure-track Assistant Professor, and promoted to Tenured Associate Professor in 2015. He is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Malaya (Malaysia), with concurrent appointment as Honorary Associate Professor at The University of New South Wales. His research team develops new strategies for rational catalysts design based on fundamental surface and materials engineering, charge transport, and photochemical conversions, with focus on energy and environmental applications.Atsushi Urakawa was born in Japan. He obtained his BSc degree (with one year stay in the USA) in Applied Chemistry at Kyushu University (Japan) and he studied Chemical Engineering at Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) for his MSc degree. He obtained his PhD in 2006 at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) where he worked as Senior Scientist and Lecturer until he joined ICIQ as Group Leader in Spain in 2010. In 2019, he undertook a new challenge as Professor of Catalysis Engineering at Delft University of Technology. His research team combines fundamental and applied research and focuses on the rational development of heterogeneous catalysts and processes aided by in situ and operando methodologies.Yun Hau Ng is an Associate Professor at the School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong. He received his BSc (Industrial Chemistry) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2003 and his PhD from Osaka University in 2009. He was a lecturer (2014) and senior lecturer (2016) at the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). His research is focused on the development of novel photoactive semiconductors (particles and thin film) for sunlight energy conversion. He was awarded the Honda-Fujishima Prize (2013), the Chemical Society Japan (CSJ) Distinguished Lectureship Award (2018) and the APEC Science Prize for Innovation, Research and Education (ASPIRE Prize 2019) in recognition of his work in the area of photo-driven water splitting. He is currently serving as an Editor for the Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics (Springer). Patrick Sit is an Associate Professor at the School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong. He obtained his PhD in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. Prior to joining the City University of Hong Kong, he was an associate research scholar in the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University, USA and a post-doctoral associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. His research focuses on the ab initio study of the processes and materials important in energy applications.
