Dr Michael JieSenior Lecturer in ChemistryEmail: x.jie@qmul.ac.ukRoom Number: Joseph Priestley Building, Room G.08ProfileResearchProfileDr Michael Xiangyu Jie is a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry. He completed his DPhil in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford and continued his research in the group of Prof Peter Edwards FRS ML as a PDRA before being elected as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at Merton College, University of Oxford. His research has been primarily focused on the development of 'microwave-initiated heterogeneous catalysis,' which has led to sustainable catalytic processes for hydrogen production, plastic waste upcycling, and carbon dioxide utilisation. Dr Jie's expertise and research interests encompass a wide range of topics, including plastic waste upcycling, hydrogen technology, fossil fuel decarbonization, and carbon-neutral technologies. His research has also led to the development of several innovative technologies that have been granted global patents through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). These advances have attracted interest from the wide chemical community. JOIN the Group! Dr Jie's research group is expanding and welcomes applications from motivated and enthusiastic students and postdocs keen to engage in cutting-edge research in the fields of catalysis and clean technology. We provide a dynamic, interdisciplinary work environment with global collaborations.
