Yi-Hsuan Wu

Postdoc

Yi-Hsuan Wu received his B.Sc and M.Sc in materials science and engineering in National Central University, Taiwan. He acquired the D.Sc in ETH Zurich in 2025 under supervision from Prof. Christoph R. Müller where he developed metal-oxide (photo)electrocatalysts for energy conversion and biomass-derivative valorization. His PhD thesis also involves ex-situ/in-situ X-ray absorption/photoelectron spectroscopy to understand (1) the local structure of metal-oxygen motifs and their impact on intrinsic electrocatalytic activity and (2) surface/bulk phase transformation of electrocatalysts under reactions. Yi-Hsuan joined Dr. Serhiy Cherevko’s group in April 2025 and plans to start the Humboldt fellowship from August 2025 in search of combining diverse developed techniques in HIERN for expanding knowledge in intrinsic stability of electrocatalysts and gas-diffusion-layer-scale studies.
