It was a pleasure to attend the 3rd International Workshop on Solar Fuels last week in Wuhan! I really enjoyed the fast paced format: very helpful to catch up with the latest research in photocatalysis. Many thanks to Profs. Jiaguo Yu and Hermenegildo Garcia for the invitation! 😊

A pleasure to catch up with the #photocatalysis community during our #PhotoSynth symposium! Also, lovely to see a strong representation from #NTU Singapore at the @nanoge.org #MATSUS26 Meeting in Barcelona, including 3 contributions from our group!
#MATSUS26Day2 #MATSUS26Day4 #MATSUS26Day5 #MSE
We are back at the @nanoge.org #MATSUS26 Meeting in Barcelona! Check out Zhifan’s talk on Thu (E3, 16:45), Shao Heng’s poster on Thu (Ágora, 17:30), and my own talk on Tue (E4, 9:45)! We are also organising the #PhotoSynth symposium on Thu and Fri, so looking forward for a great week of science! 🤩
The iconic lab coats are back! 🤩 Our group is quickly expanding, with Zebin & Nicolas (PhD), Annabelle & Kai En (CSP), and Xiangyu (RA) joining this term. Time for a new group photo and delicious get-together! 😋
#NTU #MSE #nanyang
January outreach: DJ or starting a boy band? Why not both! 🎵
Introducing prospective students to artificial leaves at our Materials Exposition open house, and then celebrating our stellar NTU community at MSExtravaganza 2026! ✨
DJ journey continued with 3 more campus gigs: now we got visuals! 😎
Over the past couple of weeks, I had the pleasure to present at the MRS-J Meeting in Yokohama, catch up with Prof. Qian Wang in Nagoya University, and give a keynote lecture at ICCCU Conference in Bengaluru! 🌏
And that’s a wrap for 2025, Happy Holidays! 🎉
More side quests: Singapore Half Marathon - 02:20:45
YoY: -80% practice, +9% weight, -11% speed, +28% overall rank gain. So, it's not the lack of training or delicious food, but... humidity, of course 😅
#SCSM2025
Our first year-end dinner to celebrate great science, a successful semester and the end of exams at Nanyang Technological University Singapore. Time for a well deserved break, and we'll get right back to it in January! 💪
Onward AndreiLab! 😉 #majulah
It was a pleasure to showcase our research at the #Photo & #Electro #Catalysis Symposium in #Nankai University! Many thanks to Jingshan Luo for the amazing hospitality and bringing together this excellent line-up of speakers, including our own Singapore delegation with Lydia Wong and Yanwei Lum! 🤩
