Shu-Yuan Pan is currently an Associate Professor at Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, College of Bioresources and Agriculture, National Taiwan University (NTU), and the Vice Chief Executive Officer of the Agricultural Net Zero Technology and Management Innovation Research Center at NTU. He obtained his B.S. from the Department of Geography at NTU in 2009, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the Graduate Institute of Environmental Engineering at NTU in 2011 and 2016, respectively. He served as a visiting researcher at Argonne National Laboratory, and conducted postdoctoral research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In 2019, Dr. Pan joined NTU as a tenure-track Assistant Professor, and then was promoted as an Associate Professor in 2023. Pan leads the “Green Technology Lab” at NTU, dedicating to the development of circular economy technologies in accordance with international movements and local demands, such as circular economy and net-zero transformation in agriculture. Pan has published more than 100 SCI articles (Google citation >10,000 with an h-index of 52) and has received 8 patents. Pan is also the author of a book entitled “CO2 Mineralization and Utilization”. Moreover, several of his papers have been acknowledged as highly cited papers in the field of engineering by ESI. He is a Professional Engineer (PE) in environmental engineering licensed in Taiwan.
We focus on the GREAT (Green Research for Environmental and Agricultural Technologies) to realize BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) economy system. We have three main research themes: (1) precision separation for water reuse, (2) agricultural (bio)waste utilization, and (3) net-zero carbon technologies. Our group specializes in practical applications of water reuse, solid waste conversion, and carbon dioxide capture and utilization technologies, especially via electrochemical systems. We have our own laboratory focusing on separation systems for agricultural and environmental applications towards a circular (bio)economy. In some cases, we also collaborate with experimental groups around the world. Currently, we have ~20 active members , including postdocs, research assistants, PhD students, master students, etc.

Current research topics relate to water technology (selective sorption, electrokinetic separation) and biosolid valorization technology (electrofermentation, anaerobic digestion, low-oxygen thermal conversion), as well as healthy watershed practices from scientific aspects (carbon and nutrient cycles) to engineering domain (water quality improvement, carbon farming).
Shu-Yuan Pan was awarded a “2023 Class of Influential Researchers – Asia and Pacific” (I&EC Research, ACS), and a “2022 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Lectureship” Award (USA). Pan has ranked on the list of “World’s Top 2% Scientists” since 2020. He also received several awards from the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Taiwan ROC, including the “Einstein Young Scholars Fellowship” in 2019-2023, and the “Ta-You Wu Memorial Award” in 2024. In 2013, he was named Green Talent by BMBF (Germany) for his graduate work. Pan has trained and mentored more than 40 students and professional staff members since 2019. Pan has several Advisee Awards, including “the Third Place of the Net Zero Tech Contest” by the TECO Technology Foundation in 2024, “Best Poster Award” by Chinese Institute of Environmental Engineering (Taiwan) in 2022, “Living Lab Project Awards” by CTCI Education Foundation (Taiwan) in 2020 and 2021, and “Student Paper Award” by Taiwan Agricultural Engineers Society (Taiwan) in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
