About Me
Dr. Chan Chen Hui is currently an Assistant Professor at the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering (SECE), Xiamen University Malaysia. He received his PhD in Chemistry from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon in France. After PhD completion, he worked as Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Computational Catalysis & Materials Design Lab of University of Seoul from 2020 to 2021, and in the Computational Science Research Center of Korea Institute of Science and Technology from 2022 to 2024. His research interests include the design of new, highly-efficient, and low cost catalytic materials for sustainable environment, and the optimization of various chemical reactions using multiscale computational chemistry (density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations) and machine learning tools.
