Professor Jeffrey C.S. Wu is a distinguished professor and former chairman of the Chemical Engineering Department, National Taiwan University. He has long-term research activity in solar energy conversion. His research interest is photocatalysis including (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 is a fellow of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers. Prof. Wu has received a number of awards including, Qin-Lang Chair Professor of NTU Engineering College in 2022, Outstanding paper of Taiwan Catalysis Society in 2020, Yang Bing Yan Chair Professor of NTU Engineering College in 2018, Outstanding Engineering Professors Award of Chinese Institute of Engineers Taiwan in 2016; Outstanding Cross-Sector Collaboration Award of 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 the editor of Catalysis Communications, and members of the editorial boards in several SCI journals. He is the author and co-author of over 160 SCI journal papers. His h-index is 54 (Jan 2024).

The lab of catalysis chemistry is located on the 5th floor, Room 507, in the ChE II Building. We have many photoreactors, GCs, HPLC, NOx analyzers, ovens, high-temperature furnaces, hood, and lab wet benches.  A separate space is available for students.
