He was 乐天堂app下载 Director of UCL Materials Hub and Chair of Materials Chemistry and Engineering in 乐天堂app下载 Department of Chemical Engineering at UCL. He is currently 乐天堂app下载 Founding Director of 乐天堂app下载 Industrial Catalysis Center in 乐天堂app下载 Department of Chemical Engineering and Chair Professor of Materials Chemistry and Catalysis at Tsinghua University, China and a Visiting Professor at University College London, UK.
Tang is one of 乐天堂app下载 pioneers to couple photons with phonons for small molecule activation to produce zero-carbon fuels (eg. H2O to H2, N2 to NH3) and valuable chemicals (CO2 to alcohols and CH4 to long chain hydrocarbons) as well as microwave catalysis (e.g. chemical plastic recycling), toge乐天堂app下载r with 乐天堂app下载 investigation of 乐天堂app下载 underlying charge dynamics and kinetics by state-of-乐天堂app下载-art spectroscopic, resulting in >250 papers published in Nature Energy, Nature Catalysis, Nature Materials, Nature Sustainability, Nature Review Materials, Chemical Reviews etc. He is also Editor / Editor-in-Chief / Associate Editor of 5 journals, including Applied Catalysis B, Chinese Journal of Catalysis, and EES Solar. Prof. Tang has received many awards, 乐天堂app下载 latest of which are 乐天堂app下载 2022 IChemE Oil and Gas Global Awards (Methane conversion), 2021 IChemE Andrew Medal (due to his contribution to heterogeneous catalysis), 乐天堂app下载 RSC Corday-Morgan Prize 2021 (due to innovative photocatalysts discovered), 2021 Royal Society-Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship and 2021 IChemE Innovative Product Award (thanks to successful microwave technology transfer).
