Zheng-Yi Lin (a.k.a  Bruce) M.S. Student

Hailing from Chiayi and an alumna of Tamkang University, my predilection for witty repartee and extolling others' virtues defines my usual pursuits. The impetus for joining this laboratory lies in the aspiration to enrich my perspective through the founder's vision and experience. I seek to assimilate his cognitive constructs, problem-solving methodologies, and thinking paradigms. Anticipating substantive personal growth two years hence, my aim is not mere stasis but a trajectory of advancement, imbuing this diploma with substantive value beyond the realm of a mere parchment.

Thesis Title: Antraquinone-based electrochemically active polymers for CO2 capture

Jyun-Ci Li (a.k.a Matt) M.S. Student

Due to my interest in carbon dioxide reduction and photocatalysis, I chose to join the VW Laboratory. During weekends, I enjoy spending leisure time at the cinema or bookstore, savouring moments outside of work.  

Thesis Title: Visible-Light-Driven CO2 reduction using copper (II) complexes with sulphur-containing pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide scaffolds

Jyun-Ci Li (a.k.a Matt) M.S. Student

I'm Matt. A graduate of Chung Shan Medical University. Residing in Chiayi, I embark on a transformative journey as a student, delving into the fascinating realm of scientific exploration within a lab setting. Joining this lab has been pivotal, acting as a catalyst for my metamorphosis. Through rigorous experimentation and learning, I've evolved into a more adept and insightful version of myself.

Thesis Title: Molecular turning of copper complexes for selective CO2 fixation and electrocatalytic conversion

Cheng-Yu  Hsieh  (M.S. Student)  co-supervised with Prof. Hsuan-Hung Liao  

Cheng-Yu Hsieh (Crab) was born in Taiwan, and received his B.S. from Department of Medicinal Chemistry at Chia Nan University of Pharmacy ＆ Science in 2018. During that time Crab was working on the exploration of new biomedical products and investigating their probability. Crab joined the group in the summer of 2021, after he worked in industry for one year. His current research project is developing the new methodology for electroorganic synthesis.

Thesis Title: Investigations of molecular catalysts for heterogeneous catalytic reactions through graphite-conjugated structures

Hsuan Chang  (M.S. Student) co-supervised with Dr. Wen-Ching Chen 

Hsuan Chang (Marvin) was born in Taipei, and got his B.S. from Department of Medicinal and Applied Chemistry in Kaohsiung Medical University in 2020. He joined the group in the summer of 2021.  His research topic is about the development of new types of electrocatalysts.

Thesis Title:  Mechanistic studies of a Hydrogen-Evolving cobalt complex in the presence of molecular oxygen
