Biography
Dr. Pan Wang received her Bachelor’s degree in 2010 from Central South University and pursued her Ph.D degree at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), under the guidance of Prof. Yong Tang in 2015. In 2016, she joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Timothy M. Swager. Dr. Wang joined Westlake University as an assistant professor in November 2019. Her research group primarily concentrates on the development of organic functional materials from the molecular level, and the applications in energy storage and conversions.
Research
Research in Dr. Pan Wang’s group centers on the interplay between organic materials design, fundamental aspects of understanding the intrinsic functional mechanisms, and device applications in energy storage and conversions. The overarching goal to develop innovative organic materials starting from the molecular level, endowing them with various functions through molecular design and engineering. By addressing challenges related to energy consumption and environmental protection, our research aims to contribute to sustainable solutions.
