Biography
Prof. Eileen Yu holds a Chair in Chemical Engineering in the School of Chemsitry and Chemical Engineering. Before join Southampton in 2024, she had academic position at Newcastle University and Loughborough University.
After obtained her PhD from Newcastle University pioneering on the development of direct methanol alkaline fuel cells, she worked as a research fellow at Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems, Germany before she returned to Newcastle University to take a prestigious EPSRC Research Fellowship (Life Science Interface). This fellowship enabled her to extend her research into the biosciences, from which she has developed a interdisciplinary research profile.
She has a wide range of experience in various fields in electrochemical and bioelectrochemical systems for energy, environmental and biomedical applications. She has attracted more than 拢20m funding from various funding organisations. Her current research includes understanding fundamentals and engineering applications of electrocatalysis and microbial electrosynthesis for CO2 utilisation, resource recovery from wastes, bioremediation and environment monitoring with bioelectrochemical systems.
She is the Editor in Chief of Fuel Cells (Wiley), and Associate editor for
Frontiers in Energy Research, Biosensors.
She is Committee member and Treasure of SCI Electrochemical Engineering Group.
