​Dr Han is a materials chemist and his research is focused on nanoporous and nanostructured materials, including ordered mesoporous materials, hierarchically structured zeolites, porous organic polymers, porous carbons, and metallic plasmonic nanocrystals. His ability to precisely control the structure and morphology of these materials promoted his great success in developing novel applications for them in gas adsorption/separation, heterogeneous catalysis, and nanophotonics. Dr Han also has expertise in electron microscopy. Dr. Han has published > 170 research articles in prestigious journals including Science, Nature, Nature Materials, Nature Chemistry, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, JACS, and these papers have been cited over 11000 times with h-index of 50. His achievements have garnered international recognition. In 2004, he was named as a TR100 Young Innovator by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's magazine of innovation, Technology Review. In 2006, he was awarded the Young Scientist Award by the Singapore National Academy of Science. In 2016, he got the Cheung Kong Scholar award, the highest academic award issued to an individual in higher education by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of
