معرفی
Associate Professor WU Jie holds positions as Assistant Head (M.Sc. Programme and Enterprise) and Dean's Chair Professor (2023-2026) at the Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore (NUS). He leads the Lab of Flow Synthesis, focusing on photocatalysis and automated multistep synthesis. His research spans engineered flow reactors, natural gas feedstock transformations, and hydrogen atom transfer strategies.
Education:
- Postdoctoral, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2012-2015)
- Ph.D., Boston University (2012)
- B.Sc., Beijing Normal University (2006)
Research Interests:
His group develops advanced flow reactors (e.g., stop-flow micro-tubing), visible-light-driven C-H functionalization, and end-to-end automated synthesis platforms. Key projects include modular alkene synthesis from feedstocks and photo-mediated hydrosilylation.
Publications:
Recent works highlight innovations like button-push on-demand synthesis for antiviral agents and high-speed circulation flow platforms. Themes include photocatalytic cross-coupling, radical chemistry, and heterogeneous catalysis.
Awards:
- Emerging Investigators in Flow Chemistry (2023)
- Thieme Chemistry Journal Award (2019)
- Asian Core Program Lectureship Award (2017-2023)
Grants & Labs:
Secured $12.3M as PI and $2M as co-PI. His lab trains students in flow chemistry, green synthesis, and automated platforms. Collaborations span institutions like MIT, Harvard, and industry partners.
