Michael Jie

Dr. Michael Jie is a Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London's School of Physical and Chemical Sciences. He is affiliated with the Centre for Chemical Research and the Centre for Experimental and Applied Physics. His research focuses on microwave-driven catalytic processes for plastic upcycling, CO2 utilization, hydrogen technology, and functional materials synthesis from waste resources.

Research interests include designing active microwave catalysts for circular economy applications, low-temperature CO2 activation, and advanced characterization techniques for microwave-initiated catalysis. He has secured grants such as the Royal Society-funded Spatiotemporal Characterisation Methods (2024-2025) and a £355k contract with HUNT Energy Enterprises for microwave-driven methane reforming (2024-2026).

Publications emphasize microwave-assisted catalysis in energy and environmental contexts, with recent work on hydrogen production from fossil fuels and plastic waste upcycling. No scientific awards are listed, but his grants underscore industry and academic collaboration. He leads projects involving catalytic materials development and process optimization, with no documented advisees listed in the provided texts.
