Prof. Kazunari Domen
Professor
The University of Tokyo, Japan
Professor Kazunari Domen received his B.S. (1976), M.S. (1979) and Ph.D. (1982) Honours in Chemistry from The University of Tokyo. He joined the Chemical Resources Laboratory, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan in 1982 as Assistant Professor, and was subsequently promoted to Associate Professor in 1990 and Professor in 1996. Professor Domen moved to the University of Tokyo as Professor in 2004 and to a joint appointment with Shinshu University as Special Contract Professor in 2017. He became University Professor of The University of Tokyo in 2019.Domen has been working on overall water splitting reaction on heterogeneous photocatalysts to generate clean and recyclable hydrogen. Since 2000, he has been developing various kinds of photocatalysts that respond to visible light for efficient solar hydrogen production. He has more than 500 scholarly publications in highly reputed journals.

Dr. Asif Ali Tahir
Associate Professor
University of Exeter
Dr. Asif Ali Tahir is associate professor and director of research engineering at University of University of Exeter. his work's key objective is to study light-induced water oxidation and reduction reactions, and production of H2 on novel nanostructured semiconductor electrode surfaces, as a renewable source of energy. I am currently investigating photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical performance of metal oxide, oxynitride and nitride photoelectrodes for solar hydrogen generation, and the effects of doping agents and preparation techniques on their properties. He has more than 100 high impact publication in reputed scientific journals.

Dr. Xiangyu Jie (Michael)
Research Fellow
Oxford, UK
Dr. Xiangyu Jie currently working as research fellow in university of oxford, UK. interests center on energy and environmental sectors in heterogeneous catalysis, new-generation materials for hydrogen production and storage, fossil fuel decarbonization, microwave-initiated catalysis, carbon dioxide activation and utilization. We utilise microwave science and technology to catalytically produce high-purity hydrogen through the dehydrogenation of hydrocarbon fossil fuels (include crude oil, diesel and petrol etc.). In a recent advance, he is working on the microwave-initiated catalytic conversion of plastic to produce both clean hydrogen fuel and also the constituent monomer through catalytic chemical depolymerization.

Dr. Abdelghafour Zaabout
Senior Scientist
SINTEF Industry, Norway
Dr. Abdelghafour Zaabout, a Senior Scientist at SINTEF Industry in Norway and affiliate Professor at Mohamed 6 Polytechnic University in Morocco, has over 10 years of experience developing highly efficient and cost- effective technologies for decarbonization of the industrial, energy and hydrogen sectors. He received his PhD from Aix Marseille University before starting a two-years Postdoctoral Fellowship at Eindhoven University of Technology (Chemical Reactor Intensification group) in the Netherlands. His activities covered a wide variety of CO2 capture, decarbonization and waste recycling processes (e.g., chemical looping applied to power and hydrogen production, adsorption, cryogenic, mineralization, pyrolysis, molten salt). He is also a passive member of the technical committee in Hydrogen Europe, he is part of the EU strategy and CCS teams in the Process Technology department, and he chaired several sessions in the international conference on Fluidization. Dr. Zaabout has published nearly 40 peer reviewed high-ranking journal papers and has co-supervised dozens of students combining PhD students, postdocs and graduate engineering students. Dr. Zaabout was a key driver in licensing his co-patented innovative concept for CO2 capture.
