Center of Excellence on Catalysis and Catalytic Reaction Engineering (CECC)

Center of Excellence on Catalysis and Catalytic Reaction Engineering (CECC)

The Center of Excellence on Catalysis and Catalytic Reaction Engineering endeavors to be the hub of knowledge for both computational and experimental, from nano to macro-scale heterogeneous catalysis research in Asia

Research & Innovation Focus

NetZero + BCG
NetZero + Industry 4.0
Sustainable Society + BCG

Strategic Objectives

To be the center of excellence at the international standard level, produce research works that strengthen academic knowledge, and be the international reference for academia in science and technology focusing on Catalysis, Reaction Engineering, and Chemical Engineering

Target in 3 Years

  • produce high-quality research work in the top 1% ranking journals in Catalysis, Reaction Engineering, and Chemical Engineering
  • produce high-quality research work in "Nature" or "Science"

Research Highlights

  • Public Heterogeneous Catalyst Database created via techniques in experiments, Quantum Chemistry, and Artificial Intelligence to support net-zero carbon goal based on carbon dioxide conversion technology to high-value chemicals, in which it can be accessed via http://www.hcu.cecc.eng.chula.ac.th/hea-database/
  • Multi-Functional Reactor for biomass utilization to high-value chemicals to support BCG Economic Model
