Metal Nanoparticles for Catalysis

Franklin (Feng) Tao, PhD, is a tenure-track assistant professor of chemistry. After receiving a PhD from Princeton University and being a postdoctoral fellow at UC-Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, he started his independent career in 2010. He was elected fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry in 2013. Currently, he is leading a research group focusing on synthesis, evaluation of catalytic performance, and in-situ and operando characterization of catalytic materials  in catalytic reactions for chemical and energy transformations toward fundamental understanding of catalytic processes at molecular level. He published about 100 peer-reviewed publications and three books with Wiley and RSC.
