Dr Wang Lei
Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, NUS College of Design & Engineering
Dr Wang Lei is interested and experienced in electrochemical related catalysis and materials discovery for sustainable energy and green organic synthesize technologies. Prior to his NUS appointment, Lei received the Swedish Knut and Alice Wallenberg postdoctoral
research fellowship award to work in the group of Professor Thomas Jaramillo at Stanford University upon his PhD graduation in 2015 from KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He is also a Chemical Engineering BSc and MSc graduate from Dalian University
of Technology. His PhD work at KTH under the supervision of Professor Licheng Sun focused on the design and synthesis of molecular catalysts for water oxidation, which is the kinetic bottleneck in water splitting. He introduced innovative concepts
for the rational design of molecular catalysts based on comprehensive kinetic and mechanistic studies. He extended his primary goal to develop electrocatalysts that can selectively reduce CO2 into liquid fuels during his postdoctoral fellowship at
Stanford. He hopes to expand his research expertise at NUS beyond CO2 reduction and electrochemical organic synthesis, into oxygen/nitrogen reduction, the electrochemical oxidation of fuels and the partial oxidation of methane to methanol.
