Wei Wang (王伟) He received his B.E. degree from Qingdao University of Science and Technology in 2015, his M.S. degree from Xiamen University in 2018, and his Ph.D. degree from National University of Singapore in 2023. From 2024 to 2026, he worked as postdoctoral research associate at Washington State University, Northeastern University, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research focuses on catalysis and reaction engineering for sustainable energy and chemical production. He is particularly interested in hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and reaction coupling for process intensification, with complementary expertise in synchrotron-based in situ/operando characterization.
