Prof. Ong Wee Jun Featured in Materials Horizons Emerging Investigator Series by the Royal Society of Chemistry
The Research and Postgraduate Centre congratulates Prof. Dr. Ong Wee Jun, Director of the the Center of Excellence for NaNo Energy & Catalysis Technology (CONNECT) and Assistant Dean of the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering, for being featured as an Emerging Investigator by the journal Materials Horizons, a high impact and prestigious journal by the Royal Society of Chemistry (Q1, IF: 13.3).
The Royal Society of Chemistry’s Emerging Investigator series features exceptional work by early-career researchers in material sciences. The Royal Society of Chemistry interviewed Prof. Ong Wee Jun during the special occasion to award him as the Emerging Investigator. The abstract of his Emerging Investigator Series article titled “Isotype heterojunction: tuning the heptazine/triazine phase of crystalline nitrogen-rich C3N5 towards multifunctional photocatalytic applications” will be included in the end of this article. Also, this paper was featured as the inside front cover for Materials Horizons, Volume 11 Number 2 published on 21 January 2024. This work was invited by the Executive Editor of Materials Horizons (Dr. Michaela Mühlberg) as also part of the themed collection to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Materials Horizons. Prof. Ong is also on of the Advisory Board Members of this journal.
