In 2009, he started to develop novel catalysts and processes for green chemicals and biofuels in the Institute of Chemical and Bio-Engineering at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He was appointed Lecturer at The School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The University of Sydney in 2010 and Associate Professor in 2015. Awards and honours 2014: Dean's Research Award. 2013: Australia-China Emerging Future Leaders in Low Emissions Coal Technology Fellowship. 2012: France-Australia Science Innovation Collaboration program Early Career Fellowships. 2007: Chinese government award for outstanding student abroad in 2007. 2005: Full scholarship from the German Research Foundation (DFG) to pursue PhD research.

研究领域

Chemical catalysts have a significant effect on the speed and conditions under which chemical reactions take place, and nowhere is this more important than in the chemical manufacturing industry. Associate Professor Jun Huang's research aims to develop new catalysts and ultimately ensure a 'greener' and more sustainable industry. "My research focuses on catalysis engineering. Catalysis is the hastening of a chemical reaction by the addition of a substance known as a catalyst. "Without catalysts, some chemical reactions can take days and require very high pressure and temperatures. By adding an appropriate catalyst these reactions can be completed within seconds under much lower pressure and temperatures. Catalysis engineering has therefore been extremely important to the development of the modern chemical industry. More than 90 percent of all commercially produced chemicals use the catalytic process. "Through my research I develop new catalysts that enable the efficient and 'green' processing of raw materials into useful products, such as renewable fuels. I also develop catalysts that help to treat wastewater and clean up pollutants, and capture and convert greenhouse gases. "I have studied and worked in different countries, including China, Germany, the US, and Switzerland, before joining the University of Sydney in 2010. "I am excited about the scientific challenges involved in the field of catalysis, because solving them has the potential to make a real contribution to society. New catalysts can be directly applied in the production of biofuels and chemicals and in the reduction of pollutants. This will offer new jobs, a cleaner environment and more sustainable products."
