Kuei-Hsien Chen

He received his B.S. in Chemistry from National Kaohsiung Normal University and M.S. from National Taiwan Normal University. He is currently a Ph.D. student in the Molecular Science and Technology Program (MST) at National Taiwan University. His research focuses on the catalytic microwave Boudouard reaction, system assembly, and electrochemical CO₂ reduction (EC-CO₂RR).

Sumangaladevi Koodathil is a PhD student in Materials Science whose research focuses on the nano-electrochemical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. She synthesizes transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) single crystals using solid-state and chemical vapor transport methods, followed by nanoscale characterization with AFM-SECM and KPFM. Her work aims to understand the relationship between local electrochemical activity and surface potential in 2D materials.

Cheng-Liang Liao is a master's student focusing on the synthesis of MoWS₂ ternary alloys for photocatalytic CO₂ reduction. His research aims to investigate how the composition and properties of MoWS₂ affect its photocatalytic performance for CO₂ reduction.

Shao-Wei Lu is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics at National Taiwan University. His current research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of carbon nitride (C₃N₄)-based single-atom catalysts for electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction.

Omran earned his Ph.D. in Electrochemistry from Shiraz University in 2009. He then conducted postdoctoral research in Physics Department at Sharif University of Technology. In 2011, he joined Alzahra University as a faculty member, where he began his academic career focusing on energy and environmental science. His primary research interests center on renewable and sustainable energy conversion and storage. In August 2023, Omran joined the research group of Prof. Kuei-Hsien Chen at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS), Academia Sinica, as a visiting scholar.
