Nate W. J. Ang

Dr. Nate W. J. Ang is a Senior Scientist in the Department of Microbial Biotechnology at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Germany, where he contributes to the Electrobiotechnology research group. He holds a PhD in Chemistry from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and has a strong academic background spanning institutions in Singapore, the UK, and Germany.

Education:

• B.Sc. (Hons) in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, Nanyang Technological University (2012–2016)
• M.Sc. in Research in Chemistry, University of Edinburgh (2016–2017)
• PhD in Chemistry (Dr. rer. nat.), Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (2018–2021)
• Diploma in Chemical Process Technology, Singapore Polytechnic (2007–2010)

His research focuses on electrochemistry, catalysis, and sustainable synthesis, particularly in the development of electroreductive methods for C–S and C–C bond formation using nickel and cobalt catalysts, and CO₂ utilization. His current work at UFZ likely extends into microbial and bioelectrochemical systems. His early career publications highlight innovative synthetic methodologies in organic chemistry.

The trend in his publications (2017–2021) shows a strong emphasis on organic electrochemistry and transition-metal catalysis, with applications in green and sustainable synthesis. His work bridges fundamental organic chemistry with environmental goals such as atmospheric CO₂ fixation.
