Siyu Yao

Siyu Yao's work centers on catalysis and materials chemistry, particularly designing metal-based catalysts (such as nickel, copper, and ruthenium systems) for converting small molecules like methane, CO2, and biomass-derived compounds into useful fuels and chemicals. The research also explores catalyst structure at the atomic and interfacial level to improve efficiency and resistance to degradation. Note that some listed publications (e.g., on nanoemulsions, cancer therapy, food science) appear unrelated to this core catalysis focus and may reflect a shared author name rather than this PI's own work.

Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from about 15-20 papers per year around 2017-2021 to over 30 per year in 2024-2025.
