应纳米材料与化学研究部俞书宏教授的邀请，11月2日，新加坡南洋理工大学杨艳辉教授前来实验室进行学术交流与访问，并为师生们做“Supported noble metallic nanoparticles as efficient catalysts for organic transformation”的学术报告。

　　Dr. Yang received his B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Tsinghua University and Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering from Yale University in 1998 and 2005, respectively. His doctoral advisor is Prof. Gary L. Haller. Dr. Yang joined School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (SCBE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore as an assistant professor in August 2005 right after He graduated from Yale. Dr. Yang’s primary research area is heterogeneous catalysis over metals and metal oxides. In particular, Dr. Yang is interested in understanding the fundamental catalytic concepts and phenomena using well-defined model catalyst and chemically probed reactions. The model reactions in his laboratory include aerobic oxidation of alcohols, selective hydrogenation of aldehyde, epoxidation using air, CO2 utilization (dry reforming and CO2 methanation), and SWCNT production. Along with Dr. Yang’s main research interests, he also employs the high surface area materials for various applications, e.g., protein separation, UHPLC separation, enantioselective drug adsorption and release. Dr. Yang has published over 100 research articles in top tier journals including JACS, J. Catal., Chem Comm., ACS Nano, etc.. Dr. Yang was promoted to be associate professor with tenure in chemical engineering in 2010.
