Kuo-Wei Huang received his B.S. from National Taiwan University as a Yuan T. Lee Fellow and his PhD from Stanford University as a Regina Casper Fellow. Before joining KAUST as a founding faculty member, he was an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore and a Goldhaber Distinguished Fellow at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
His group’s research interests include CO₂ utilisation, hydrogen storage, small molecule activation (particularly on the PN₃(P) ligand platform his group has developed and pioneered), and computational and kinetic mechanistic studies of catalysis. He was recently highlighted in “Pioneers and Influencers in Organometallic Chemistry” by Organometallics in 2020.
