HE also teaches undergraduate courses such as Introduction to Engineering and Product Design and Manufacturing.

Yulian He is a researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, focusing on AI for heterogeneous catalysis, C1 chemistry, and transition metal oxides. Their work integrates experimental and theoretical approaches to understand catalytic mechanisms, such as methane oxidation over hematite and CO2 conversion via the reverse water-gas shift reaction. He explores the role of oxygen stoichiometry in controlling reactivity and band gaps of materials like cupric oxide. Additionally, they investigate catalytic systems for methane combustion, carbon capture, and utilization, including dual-functional 2D transition metal oxides. Research also involves designing magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers for selective enrichment and developing advanced adsorbents for pollutant removal. The integration of AI and computational methods, such as multi-modal transformers and AutoML-based feature deletion, enhances predictive capabilities in catalytic systems.
