Lik Hong is a Research Associate in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB) at the University of Cambridge. His recent research focuses on designing and shaping new metal-organic frameworks into monolithic macrostructures for hydrogen storage. He also advances the fundamental understanding and drives practical applications in various industrial processes, where he transfers his patented technology from the University of Cambridge to industry, specifically in optimizing pilot-scale process design and shaping of zeolites for addressing 21st-century challenges in climate change mitigation and energy transition-related processes.
Lik Hong is an accomplished chemist and researcher with a distinguished career in nanoporous zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. His exceptional research capabilities and esteemed recognition within the scientific community have enabled him to secure the prestigious Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek – Vlaanderen (FWO) Junior and Senior Research Fellowships, underscoring his profound expertise and respected standing in his field before joining CEB.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, he contributed to developing an oxygen concentrator with other researchers at the University of Cambridge and the University of Nairobi, Kenya, exemplifying his commitment to using his expertise for societal benefit via his voluntary services.
Besides shaping nanoporous materials, he enjoys Bonsai shaping during his holiday back home.
