His work includes base metal catalysis, photocatalysis, and bond activation for organic synthesis. He has published extensively in leading journals and received recognition for his contributions to chemical synthesis. His research interests span carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation reactions.

Chi Wai Cheung is a researcher at Tianjin University specializing in Organic Chemistry, Orgnaometallic Chemistry, Catalysis, bond activation, and green chemistry. Their work focuses on developing sustainable and efficient catalytic methods for organic synthesis, particularly in the areas of bond activation and functionalization. Cheung's research includes iron- and nickel-catalyzed reactions for amidation, amide synthesis, and reductive coupling, as well as palladium- and manganese-mediated transformations. The emphasis on green chemistry is evident through the use of mild conditions, phosphine-free catalysts, and non-toxic reagents. Their publications highlight the synthesis of complex molecules, including oxazoles, triazoles, and methyl aryl ethers, with applications in pharmaceuticals and materials science.
