The Keynote Speaker

Prof. Edman Tsang

Title: Induced Catalytically Active Sites over ‘Rigid’ Materials

Edman Tsang is a Professor of Chemistry and Head of Wolfson Catalysis Centre at the University of Oxford, UK (https://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/people/edman-tsang).

His main research interests are on materials and catalysis concerning energy and environment which include developments of catalytic, photocatalytic and electrocatalytic technologies for green chemistry, fine chemicals, cleaner combustion, energy storages, processes and production, ammonia and hydrogen technologies including fuel cells, etc. Particular expertise is in design and architecture of nanocatalysts and their in-situ/operando diffraction and spectroscopic characterization using large facilities, which can lead to understanding of catalytic surfaces and interfaces.

He has contributed to the designs of Diamond I and II beamlines and stations as community champions (user levels). He has about 450 publications including Science, Nature and Nature sister journals and has won a number of international awards including IChemE award on iAc innovation in catalysis (2005), RSC Green Chemistry award (2012), RSC Surfaces and Interfaces award (2013) and RSC Industry-Academia Collaboration Award (2019), etc.
