YCN representative - Taiwan
Chien-Hua (Jeffery) Chen
YCN representative for Taiwan
Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering at National Ilan University, Taiwan
I am Jeffery C.H. Chen, and I earned my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from National Taiwan University in 2019. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering at National Ilan University, as well as the Principal Investigator of the Advanced Membranes and Porous Materials (AMPM) Laboratory.
My research background includes extensive work on the preparation techniques of Ceramic Hollow Fiber Membranes and their applications in gas separation, solvent purification, and water treatment. After completing my Ph.D., I joined the High Speed 3D Printing Research Center at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, contributing to the development of ceramic 3D printing technology in Taiwan. In 2019, I became a part of National Ilan University, where I established the AMPM Laboratory, pioneering the technology for 3D printing ceramic membranes. My current research focuses on the following areas:
1. Inorganic Membranes (preparation techniques and applications in water treatment)
2. Photopolymerization-Based 3D Printing (for manufacturing ceramic, metal, catalysts, or composite parts)
3. Nanoporous Materials and Catalysts (such as Zeolites, Metal-Organic Frameworks, etc.)
4. Process Intensification (including reactor design, advanced membranes, and advanced membrane reactors)
I am deeply grateful and honored to be selected as the YCN Representative of Taiwan. I will actively fulfill the responsibilities of this role, assisting young researchers and students in Taiwan's ceramics field to join the YCN network. I also look forward to sharing our findings and experiences in 3D printing ceramic technology and applications, and collaborating with others to advance global research and development in ceramics.

Interface Engineering: High-Temperature Interactions Between High-Entropy Ceramics and Metals.
My research explores high-temperature interactions between high-entropy ceramics (HECs) and metals, with a focus on joining strategies for extreme environments. By understanding how metals wet and react with these advanced ceramics, I aim to design reliable interfaces for applications such as composites, coatings, and ceramic joining with functional properties. This work contributes to improving the performance and durability of materials used in demanding industries such as energy, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
